I am barely any distance into the book and I’m already angry that Goodreads decided to lead the book blurb with a quote that uncritically echoes Humbert’s term for Dolores of “nymphet” as if it’s in any way a real descriptor and not a tool of Humbert’s for dehumanization & self-justification. And I’m angry at the New Yorker for providing that quote. >_> But the book itself, so far, seems well done.
