So far, a great critique of how the book got twisted

“I’ve only listened to one episode but so far, this is a compelling yet self-aware critique of how Lolita got twisted into a perverse retelling in our culture. I actually like the Lyne movie adaptation but how did we romanticize a story about abuse? Why does pop culture find the idea of a manipulative 12 year old interesting? I want to clarify, in the book Dolores Haze is very clearly an abused child who is doing what she needs to to survive - but how did that story get turned into one about a savvy little girl using her wiles to get what she wants? I’m eager to keep listening and see what the podcast uncovers.”

“One episode in and I know this is going to be just as gripping as her Mensa podcast”

“Wonderful podcast. Loftus is a great and sensitive writer and host, and manages the subject matter extremely well. It’s maddening to see how society can completely miss the point of such a famous and horrific book”
