What are you talking about? It condemns the pedophile character in no uncertain terms. If you liked Macbeth does that mean you are a murderer?
What am I talking about?
It’s you and Trilling rubbing your little chubbies together: “We have been seduced into conniving in the violation, because we have permitted our fantasies to accept what we know to be revolting.”
I know the book and, sorry, it doesn’t do it for me as a personal or intellectual challenge or a turn-on either.
Neither does it enrage me or, frankly, interest me all that much.
What I find tiresome are these little arts-n-fartsy peek-a-boo sessions you like to stage, apparently hoping to get a rise out of the rabble, so to speak, while doing your own silly star turn rather after the fashion of Humbert himself.
