Funny enough, a friend of mine got into literature recently and he recently read it. He said it was fucking heavy but probably the best thing he's read so far in his life. I've been meaning to get around to reading it myself, but I am also WELL aware that it is not a, uh, 'great and tragic love story'.
Yeah, this. It's an amazingly well-written novel... seriously, one of the greats. But I would absolutely never describe it as a love story. That definitely requires some amount of reciprocation and not just grooming and rape.
Whaaaaat!? Grooming? But Humbert isn't trans? This is just normal behavior, it only becomes wrong when you are already a persecuted minority.
