It baffles me to think that anyone could read Lolita and not understand that this is a story about a complete monster, albeit a compelling (and at times even sympathetic) one. But the perverse cultural response towards the book is evident in all the horribly provocative covers that exist (including the default one used on this very site!). The prose is beautiful, yes; Humbert is interesting and erudite and charming. But several times throughout the book, he flat-out says that when Dolores gets too old, he's going to impregnate her and have sex with her daughter. Any ounce of positivity I felt towards him evaporated every time he said the word "nymphet" - and he says that word a lot. His only redeeming quality is his "European urge to use [his] feet when a drive can be dispensed with" - the dream of walkable American cities still feels painfully out of reach.
