Men Explain Lolita To Me

[Ray Easton]

When I say 'Nabakov does not care a fig...' I am not referring to what the 
man in his "non-fic life" did or did not believe.  (I don't care about such 
things.)  I mean that his novels have no moral viewpoint and present no 
moral lessons.

HH "gets what he deserves" -- you sound like John Ray, Jr., PhD.
