Lolita is an amazingly written book and one of the best unreliable narrator books I’ve read. The book literally starts with the protagonist writing from a criminal insane asylum, then the protagonist spends the rest of the book trying to convince you that he isn’t a bad guy, but the author weaves in things throughout the book that pull back the veil and show you the true nature of his “relationship”. It has been memed and remade poorly, with the exact opposite message of the book, in my opinion. But my read of the book was pretty unambiguously negative about Humbert Humbert ‘s actions and was “about” seeing past his smooth talk to the reality of the situation.
