I take it from the reader's persepctive, that they can be read in a minute. The rough draft actually did come out in a few minutes time, but not after carrying the image around in my head the whole day. Hammering it into shape was hours. I just couldn't leave it alone, wanted every sentence to be "perfect." It's a perfectionist kind of thing. That said, tomorrow's story will be nice. It came out in a couple of minutes time, and I think it's finished. It will be a nice story to start your day with. ;-)Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1094860501128299422004-09-10T19:55:00.000-04:002004-09-10T19:55:00.000-04:00It was a very good handling actually.

I wouldn't have known that myself until about half a year ago, when I read the book myself. I never saw any of the film versions.<br /><br />It's an amazing book to read, written with brilliant irony and a love of the English language that you seldom find anywhere. (My imitation of Nabokov's alliterative style is weak in comparison). Doing a quick google I found some links for those interested in learning more about the source:<br /><br />http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/books/1999/nabokov<br />http://www.complete-review.com/reviews/nabokovv/lolita1.htm<br /><br />I wonder what someone who read the book might think of my mini-handling of the theme?Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1094804761827874252004-09-10T04:26:00.000-04:002004-09-10T04:26:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1094803712677844662004-09-10T04:08:00.000-04:002004-09-10T04:08:00.000-04:00It did seem rather harsh to wake Humbert (and the ...It did seem rather harsh to wake Humbert (and the reader) so abruptly out of the dream. But I don't know how else I could have ended it. The novel itself didn't have a happy end either, although a happy end here might have intriguingly contrasted that.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1094800128941029542004-09-10T03:08:00.000-04:002004-09-10T03:08:00.000-04:00I thought you'd leave Humbert Humbert physically i...I thought you'd leave Humbert Humbert physically intact, which would have made his stay in lolita paradise even more exciting (for the reader;)<br />K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
