Synopsis
In Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita Humbert Humbert famously complains "Oh that I were a woman writer and could paint Lolita in a naked light..." Now, in Pia Pera's controversial new book, Lolita finally speaks for herself in her own naked voice. Listening to her tale, readers enter a universe in which events, apparently the same as in Nabokov's novel, are radically different. Truths clash, collide, and ultimately diverge. Lolita is now presented as a blatant seductress who flutters her eyelids, blows bubblegum and sucks it slowly back into her mouth. Nabokov's Lolita is, of course, not Lolita's story, but her abuser's. The Lolita of that novel is a projection of Humbert's erotic imagination. LO'S DIARY tells Lolita's own story, bringing into question the version told by her father-in-law. LO's DIARY, therefore, is also an investigation into the myth that is Lolita, uncovering her true self and telling us everything Humbert never told, never saw, and never dared imagine.
