The poet Sylvia Plath and the novelist Charlotte Brontë. Ida B. Wells, the anti-lynching activist. These extraordinary women — and so many others — did not have obituaries in The New York Times. Until now.

Lea: “I just met Lolita. She seems innocent so far. I’ve only known her in relation to Humbert Humbert. I want to know her as a character outside of their relationship. The fact that an older man has possession over a much younger girl is scary. A lot of my friends are terrified of that kind of relationship. I’ve always wanted to read Lolita and finally picked it up. My parents don’t really want me to read it yet because there are themes in it that are hard to digest as a teenage girl. I believe in exposure. It’s really important for young people. It’s not good to have a limited view of the world. Exposure makes you aware of what it feels like to be in Lolita’s position. It will make you see it and understand it more.” @lj.elton #Lolita #VladimirNabokov / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at G Train)
