Who is Lolita? The Nabokov literary classic has sparked infinite discussion in the 65 years since its release, but the cultural memory the book has left behind lives more in romance and fashion aesthetics than a cautionary tale about a deceptive predator and his young prey. Jamie Loftus wants to know how we got here, and this series traces Lolita -- the person, Dolores Haze -- from her literary origin to current status as a doomed icon.

Jamie Loftus, We Are Not Worthy <3
I am never not pleased, cheesed and in awe of all of Jamie’s work!! It is brilliant, it is funny (like actually funny tho) and it is so so poignant and necessary! I am properly obsessed. The Lolita Podcast in particular has given voice to an issue I have felt so deeply but never had the words to confidently acknowledge. Jamie and her collaborators are changing the world for the better, and ya’ll give me hope. Is it weird to say thank you??? Because THANK YOU! Now onto the hotdogs… 🫡💃💞
12/10, highly recommend
I love all of Jamie’s podcasts, but this is one is my favourite by far. Her research is thorough, her critiques are thoughtful, and her analysis is wonderfully nuanced. I learned so much from this podcast, and I know I’ll be thinking about all of it for a very long time. Great work, Jamie!!
Well done
This is so nuanced and well researched and has helped me make a little bit of sense of the strange and sordid culture we live in
