“Isn’t It Nice?eroticize pronounciatio”
Our Daily Correspondent
In the age of the List, comparing editions of Lolitahas become a national pastime. (That may be overstating the case. But there are at least two such lists in existence.)
But I hasten to say: this is not mere hackery! Or, if it is, it is a sort of hackery endorsed by one Vladimir Nabokov himself! In this clip (part of a longer film, well worth watching when you have the time) the author displays all the foreign editions of Lolita with the unself-conscious pride of a greedy baby.
(Incidentally, I’m pretty sure the elderly Turkish Lolita he references is this specimen, rivaled in unsexiness only by the somber, vaguely Keene-ish child who graces the 1963 French edition.)
