Hello,

I'm writing about how Nabokov satirizes Americans' puritanical attitudes
toward sex in Lolita. Can anyone out there can refer me to some readings
about the American cultural context for Lolita in the 1950s, particularly
the attitudes toward sex, or the language of sex at the time?


Many thanks,

Ron
