Okay, so Jim is laughing about this Lolita reference. I still feel there is something to this theory (or maybe it's an acknowledged fact, that JDS liked young girls). Looking at Esmee, Mattie and Phoebe from a "literary" viewpoint, and whats-her-face who lived with him from a real-live perspective, there is something to it.

But if he does like younger girls, he certainly has a more Carrolian attitude than a Humbert approach. At least from what i can see.

Having just seen the film yesterday, I am still shaken. What a gloomy perspective on Nabokov! And a weird film all together Besides, the girl was too old. I hope that if ever I'll see CITR on film, Phoebe will not be played by a 15-year old or something!
