Dear Amanda:

All that I can really say to answer your question is that there is much, much more to Humbert and Lolita than meets the eye. Nabokov designed it that way, with many layers, to help teach us to be better readers. So my advice to you, if the content is what bothers you, look at it that way, as Nabokov teaching you how to read. Not read in the sense of letters and phonics, but read with the famous ladder rungs that Sexson is always talking about.

love, Brittini
