Being Lolita: A Memoir by Alisson Wood

9 reviews

bellasgonemissing's review against another edition

3.0

good but did seem to skip a lot over moments/feelings that she would mention later on - wish they'd just been fleshed out in the moment to also help with what felt like a very 'and this happened and this happened and then this happened' sort of structure

Alisson Wood's accounts of her youth and struggles with mental health are incredibly tangible and relatable. The way she writes, weaving the narrative of how she was told to perceive her being groomed by her teacher, with the reality of the situation and the storyline in the novel Lolita make for very engaging storytelling without trivializing the memories and issues she explores. To use Lolita as a lense, framed as a love story, through which to view their relationship and then recommend Alisson go to school for English implies that Nick Norris either profoundly stupid or incredibly vain.
