An afterthought: Lolita

Bookfell rating:





Let's be brutally honest here. No holding back the surge of emotions that rushed through my thoughts when I was reading the story.

Lolita. Love of a young girl.

It had occurred to me as somewhat erotic before I read a book. After all, at my age, liking girls aged 14 to 16 is perfectly normal.

It never crossed my mind that, looking forward, an adult showing the same behaviorism is different.

Lolita is a sick, disgusting book. I finally said it. Yes, you heard me, disgusting. Such a word full of connotations that symbolizes the bad and the vices. I did not want to use it initially, after all, it is a beautiful literary piece of art and I did not want anyone to think it is a poor novel. The theme, more accurately put, is dirty, forbidden and evil; not the words used.
