“Imagine doing a podcast, a very comprehensive podcast, on one of the most controversial English language books in the 20th Century and not mentioning…The Writing! Imagine. The subject matter is icky, pure, as the kids would say, cringe. But if all you did was read the book just for Nabokov’s ability to illuminate a subject or a scene, or an idea or a plot with his luminescent and lyrical prose, you would be a better reader (or writer?) for it. Sadly, there is NO MENTION of Nabokov’s ability to to write as if he is conducting an orchestra of words that only he can put together as the final masterpiece. I waited and waited and what could have and should have been an episode about the writing, never materialized. Having said that, it is the only flaw in an otherwise thorough delve into Lolita.”
