Finished *Lolita* which was begun exactly five years ago.
—from a diary entry made on this day in 1953 by Vladimir
Nabokov<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=d58oc4aab&et=1104031913009&s=28407&e=0011xbrK-HmGxGYe0ZwCa8ccWTuCbCLoYcW9CDPsZwF_UTgRwnVyHUGCmLcfM6--0_8FPfAKaakdxXQeBk4IPBg_nPyMbnjol4TTxyxXLt_FSoRFKIGhZVpbnWH34kXWy2dRR_20FAtwkzbFdUaZKjAe4uCr7bQsvDiJ2x3rLbSQn8=>
That my novel does contain various allusions to the physiological urges of a
pervert is quite true. But after all we are not children, not illiterate
juvenile delinquents, not English public school boys who after a night of
homosexual romps have to endure the paradox of reading the Ancients in
expurgated editions.
—from Nabokov’s 1956 article, “On a Book Entitled Lolita”
