sarahmosher 's review for:

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
5.0

Written from the POV of a pedophile and abuser, the book is incredibly uncomfortable and disturbing, which is the purpose. Not sure I would necessarily recommend it but I do feel smarter for having read it after seeing so many references in other books and society. The stacks podcast bookclub episode with Traci Thomas helped me unpack the book, and understand it deeper. The audiobook with Jeremy Irons is very, very well done.
