Sullivan uses Nabokov inventively, quoting from his 1955 novel Lolita to demonstrate how the narrator's "refined" sensibility is transformed by a whole world of low-end culture that has become--for him--eroticized. In her introductory remarks, Azar Nafisi, author of the best-selling book Reading Lolita in Tehran, told her audience that the mindset of the area needs to change, and that the women in the region are the focus of that change. Lolita is not about the celebration of a pedophile's life, as some critics would like to think. |
