Re: Lolita in America ...
From

RSGwynn: Lolita died shortly after her last meeting with Humbert (she was largely pregnant when she saw him and died in childbirth). It took him awhile to find Quilty and shoot him. Thus, no one, except Quilty and Humbert, knew about the relationship. Humbert was tried and imprisoned for the murder of Quilty. During his imprisonment, he wrote his confession. I can't quite get the drift of this discussion.
JM: My point, exactly.This is why I prefer SB's last hypothesis because it turns the focus back to the novel and to HH's fantasies.
As Confessions go, I quick survey:
"The Confessions of St. Augustine", "The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau" Quincey's "Confessions of an English Opium Eater" , Madonna's "Confessions on a Dance Floor"... .
