From
Date
Body
EDNOTE. This is a good topic for those who have heard Irons' recording (not
to be confused with his screen performance) in _Lolita_.. Any performance
of a novel or play is ipso facto and interpretation and Irons has thought a
lot about Humbert. Cuts of Irons' reading are avilable on the web.
