Lolitas : stories and visions of small seductresses
backcover (my translation):
Between infancy and adolescence - about thirteen - is the golden age of
the Lolita, which hasn't much time to enjoy the fruits of her seduction
power over men. Fascinated by that symbolic age in every woman's life,
Katia Ceccarelli set out on a journey in Lolitaland: from Nabokov and
Slavic myths crowded with charming, dangerous "girlish" creatures on to
teen stars of ruthless Hollywood and to the magic cast by that character
on some contemporary artist, eg Mark Ryden.
With scattered memories from herself - unaware Lolita's - life.
****
2. Patton, Frances Gray.
Good morning, Miss Dove; illustrated by Garrett Price.
New York, Dodd, Mead [1954]
218 p. illus. 21 cm.
I read the novel in Italian, so I venture a back-translation, with all
possible apologies.
What a curious anticipation I found (please note the publication date of
the first edition):
Conscious of her charming hair, she used to wear it down, tied with a
ribbon, even when her adolescence was long past. She was the favourite
daughter of the banker, and he loved that style of hers - such innocent
time it was, that there was no danger to find anything morbid in a
daughter complying with her father's vanity. (Chapter 3 - end of third
paragraph)
