Very impactful for me because I saw a bit of myself in Humbert: A profound narcissism and selfishness, a deep seated evil in my psyche. It helped me change

It's also just genius in general. I had the annotated version for a Nabokov class and there's really so much to it that you could probably teach a class on this book alone.

Tried watching that anime, didn't like the cop out where the loli is actually a demon girl
Call me when nips decide to adapt some real kino

50 pages in, I cannot stop fucking laughing at every paragraph, the endless rationalizations of Humbert, his fantasies like the shivering child that survives a shipwreck, and the ornamental prose is so fucking good, I told a friend he has to read this solely for the prose and he thinks i'm a freak but I don't care. How did Nabokov do it?

>English doesn't have the concept of a lolicon.
What a dumbass fruitnigger post
"lolicon" is short for "lolita complex" which are English words
The book "Lolita" that the term originated from was originally written in English
Don't try to tell me "durr you can't put two English words together to make a new English word that's literally impossible in English"
>But modern day English speakers don't know what lolita means because they have no culture and can't read
Not my fucking problem

>You may jeer at me, and threaten to clear the court, but until I am gagged and half-throttled, I will shout my poor truth. I insist the world know how much I loved my Lolita, this Lolita, pale and polluted, and big with another's child, but still grey-eyed, still sooty-lashed, still auburn and almond, still Carmencita, still mine;
>Ohio? The wilds of Massachusetts? No matter, even if those eyes of hers would fade to myopic fish, and her nipples swell and crack, and her lovely young velvety delicate delta be tainted and torn—even then I would go mad with tenderness at the mere sight of your dear wan face, at the mere sound of your raucous young voice, my Lolita.
This made me cry. Am I a nonce?

I’m getting into Nabokov’s publications; his prose is very nice.
