Listen "Episode 28 - Lolita"
Episode Synopsis
Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our twenty-eighth episode, we court controversy with Vladimir Nabokov's surreal paedophile road trip, Lolita (1955). It's got more unreliable narration, 1950s consumerism, and untranslated French than you can stomach. Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode theme: Tchaikovsky's 'Serenade for Strings', covered by Freddy Martin and his Orchestra Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
