Men Explain Lolita To Me

[Perry Noid]

But isn't that already obvious? I think her point is that she offered a new
perspective and everyone assumed she read the book wrong. Maybe she did but
she also isn't saying that identifying with Lolita is the correct way to
read it either. She read the book, from Humbert's (unreliable) POV of
course, and found herself identifying with the girl, which doesn't imply
that that is all she did when she read it. If that is all there is to it
then I don't see what the fuss is about.
