"Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov (Episode 17.1) Part 1/3
Manage episode 336385940 series 2884938
We take on one of the most controversial novels ever put to print this month, Nabokov's "Lolita." It's the novel you've always thought you should read, but for understandable reasons you've avoided it until now.
In this episode we go into detail on the author (who he was and why he wrote this) and touch on some of the literary craft on display. A work of genius or a troubling tale of immorality? Perhaps both.
We also answer the age old question: What do Snoop Dogg and Humbert Humbert have in common? (A: they love gin and juice)
