RE: Finding Lolita – the inspiration behind the classic
Strangely very few replies on this post. The subject matter in these times makes people extremely nervous ! You're so dark these days but as usual, what incredible writing :-)
I notice you've taken a sabbatical recently. Everything OK in your corner of the world ?
Yes, I know, I was disappointed at the small turn-out myself. The thing is, it's an extremely interesting book, one that has always fascinated me, both subject-wise and how it's written. And it is a real thing, I mean Nabokov didn't make it up, you know...and I really believe that ignoring an issue and not talking about it only allows it to grow bigger and scarier.
Thank you, I don't know what's up with me, I'm just exploring a darker side of my imagination, it's a side that has always fascinated me, I guess.
And yes, I'm perfectly fine, thank you for the concern <3 You're too sweet. Actually, I was away to the UK for 4 days and didn't get much time to write..
Didn't get much time to write ? I won't pry and ask his name lol ;-)
It's very good not to be afraid of your dark side, everyone has one! but there are somethings you simply can't risk discussing on a public online forum, trigger words get picked up by authorities. We live in a world of big brother where even the most innocuous debate can raise eyebrows and the general male demographic of your followers would enjoy the read but shy away from the debate.
Keep working hard here, your words will bring you fame, fortune and glory!
Quick comment on an older post about having wild times in your 20s.....
Don't get hung up on this. You do what makes you happy, when you want to do it....that's the simple path to happiness...some of these times will be wild, some will simply be happy times, some will simply be 'wish I hadn't bothered times'.....and the 20s thing. It's a stereotype. I don't lecture or play the old experienced done it all type, but truly. One thing I learned as I got older is that age is no barrier to not giving a fuck and doing your own thing. Don't get weighed down by expectation and traditional life paths.
Your choices, your times, no pressure, be happy, try everything once...or more if it was either fun or at least interesting the first time!
I know, but for Heaven's sake, I was talking about a famous book. i know what you're saying is true and we live in a very big brother like regime, but it's absurd to no be able to talk about a world famous book because it deals with a sensitive topic, I mean think about it, if you apply this self-censorship, they win.
As for the other article, thank you for the comment <3 I know, I generally do stuff according to what I want, I don't really care about convention, I never had. Or about what other people think, but I just want to know, when I'm old and grey, that I've lived a good life, one that I'm proud of. I don't want to look back and see I missed out.
