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.

Binge worthy

This podcast is a fascinating deep dive into the book Lolita and the culture it inspired. Didn’t know it could be this interesting to listen to a show about a book I’ve never read! Highly recommended
