Lolita, Part 1

Ben and Gemma begin LOLITA this week, diving headfirst into the best-known novel about a creepy vaguely European guy and his extremely upsetting obsession with young girls. Is Humbert Humbert a textbook sociopath, or is there more to him? Does it matter that "Humbert" is a good writer, and does that make us sympathize with him more?

Be warned -- content not appropriate for children is discussed in this episode.
