The Real Lolita: The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and the Novel that Scandalized the World by Sarah Weinman

4.0

I've somehow managed to avoid reading Lolita and this book makes me glad of that fact. Apparently, Nabokov wrote a number of pieces about grown men raping pre-pubescent girls. Even worse, is that Lolita is based on a real case (that Nabokov names drops in his book) and he uses this tragedy to make a buck and a name for himself.
