Can someone answer me this question? Why do the artists and writers who judge such things think that Lolita is such a better book than Pale Fire? Is it because, essentially, the story of love, road trips, and tragedy within Lolita has a much higher value of some sort than the story of ghosts, love, and "reality" within Pale Fire?
I can't figure it out.... I like Pale Fire more....

Lolita has sex it it. We're really pretty shallow!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm only joking...I think Pale Fire is better too. But I do think the fact that Lolita is kind of racy and scandalous plays into its mass appeal.
