Lolita's a book about the innocent nature of pedophilia and why pedophiles should be treated as mentally ill people instead of as criminals

I believe that the point is there weren't any discernable crimes. Kafka intended to show a tyranny of the state and also the corruption of human institutions with an initially pure purpose, not by outside factors but by the people.

Dante was just tripping balls the whole time

I thought Lolita was a pedophile's attempt to convince others that pedophilia was innocent by trying to convince them that he loved Lolita, and how could anyone be against such a deep and profound love, inadvertently proving that pedophiles should be treated as mentally ill people who need to be locked away because they're a danger to others?

What? There were no crimes because the trial is just a metaphor for things that are happening inside his mind. It's himself on trial by himself.

I thought people were supposed to put what they thought were valid and then discussed.

My bad.

So apparently this whale was a huge douchebag to this one guy who started calling it a penis and it cought on

I feel like I never saw any threads about Beckett's novel trilogy, but now that I'm about to start it I'm seeing them on the regular. How'd you like it?

I read Molloy just the last couple weeks, Its a tricky book.

You have to go in to the novel expecting not to be given explanations and to be jumping from scene to scene without any semblance of explanation.

The "comedy" isn't really comedy unless you have a massive vocabulary or if you find the utter absurdity of its structure funny.

Its has impressive prose, and the style is interesting. I liked the 2nd part much better than the first since its slightly more coherent, but the POINT is that its not coherent.

From what i've heard, its a refutation of Cartesian philosophy: a love-letter to the complete uncertainty of everything in existence.

>a love-letter to the complete uncertainty of everything in existence.

that's pretty much all of beckett, but Molloy only kinda scratches that. there's still a body, at least.

wait until you get to the unnameable and company loool

>unless you have a massive vocabulary
U wot? What language did you read it in? The original is almost exclusively basic language and I don't recall the bits of his translation I looked at being too much more abstruse
