Reflecting on Nabokov’s work-Lolita Novel

Part 1 : Considering Book I of Lolita, what different genres do you see Nabokov engaging with? Does the novel remind you of other things you’ve read, works that tell us what kind of novel this either is or stands in relation to? Make sure to cite specific passages in the text to support your ideas.

Part 2: According to Ann Feeney, “Since its first struggle for publication, Lolita has generally become more…tolerated, or perhaps understood. Most of the bans placed upon it have been either lifted or rendered impotent” (71).* Why do you think this is the case? What does the fact that the novel is less controversial now tell us about the book and/or literary controversies more generally?

Please do part 1 and part 2 separate and identify that this part 1 and/or part 2 on the answer
