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.

Fantastic
This is an amazing podcast!
I’m not gonna take a star off for this, but god that entire Lana Del Rey section was cringe.
So valuable
What an exceptional podcast! So interesting and helped me a lot in putting together a Nabokov exhibit at the uni I work at. My exhibit is mostly on his work in entomology but you cannot have a Nabokov exhibit and not address the Lolita in the room. Thank you.
Love love love love
This podcast is a masterpiece of research and analysis. It is incredibly powerful for survivors of childhood sexual trauma/abuse to listen to, but also for anyone, as we are all affected whether we realize it or not.
It’s definitely challenging, but worth it if you can handle the intensity.
