Weekend Edition - Sunday audio < This site will allow you to listen to Marr's 3 minute 19 second interview.
April 25, 2004
Professor Michael Maar has unearthed an obscure 1916 short story published in German called "Lolita." It tells of a middle-aged man's fixation with a young girl. Scholars are now left to debate what it might mean if Vladimir Nabokov -- author of the later novel Lolita -- knew of the story. NPR's Liane Hansen talks with Maar.
