About this listen
📖Episode 3: Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita” 📖
From Ancient Greece to the modern day, this episode explores one of literature’s most divisive descendants: Lolita. We cover Freud, the female experience, and feminism as we explore a book deemed taboo fantasy by many but a miserable reality to girls and women everywhere.
Content Warnings:
This episode does require multiple content warnings. We delve into topics of child abuse, assault, and paedophilia. If you are sensitive to these themes I gently urge you to avoid this episode.
