I ended up DNFing halfway through because some recurring things in the essays were bothering me-- including Lolita Japanese fashion was my tipping point but overall it felt like a very surface level "book about pedophilia but what about us triggered lefties

I read around Lolita because it's a novel one is expected to have read if you have an English degree but I majored in Creative Writing - Poetry so...

I really, really dread it. I was glad to read this anthology of literary/film criticism, history, short stories, etc. focused on Lolita and its legacy.
