Dear Carolyn,
The depiction of Lolita from Spoken Arts doesn't deserve partiality,
yours or anyone else's. Lolita there is all super flat-chested,
big-footed pre-teen goofiness without budding sensuality and devoid of
any knowingness, which Lo certainly had, especially after her camp
experiences hinted at in her letter to "Dear Mummy and Hummy": "... I
lost my new sweater in the woods. ...."
