dark emotional sad medium-paced

une ptn de masterclass, la plume de Nabokov est tellement envoûtante que lire 500 pages sur le pdv d’un pedophile c’est le truc le plus intéressant de mon mois d’août (j’abuse à peine)

A brilliantly written book about the dive into insanity of a perverse man. Nothing can improve him as he lives his life destined for hell.

brilliant on so many levels

I think the difficulty of this book is trying to disassociate it from reality. The entire piece is, in my opinion, a commentary on the true nature of the human condition. We are all deeply immoral, but our actions are what define us. We're all hypocrites and sometimes the good we seek is the evil of the world.

SICK.

A book that feels weird as the plot gets. We see a guy's obssession with a girl and the extent of how this sickness can be perpetuated.

This is an uncomfortable reading and if you don't end up questioning why some people may find this normal, you may have to give it a re-read
