Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Left, the only actually published cover that (to my knowledge) features any version of Humbert SOLO (there are two that were part of a design contest but not actually published). It really does give the whole thing a different vibe and reads MUCH more "prison memoir" (as it should).
Right, while it does have a girls body parts (audience booing) she at least looks like an actual child and not massively sexualized. I also love that this picks up on Nabokov's anecdote from the Afterword:
"The first little throb of Lolita went through me late in 1939 or early in 1940, in Paris, at a time when I was laid up with a severe attack of intercostal neuralgia. As far as I can recall, the initial shiver of inspiration was somehow prompted by a newspaper story about an ape in the Jardin des Plantes, who, after months of coaxing by a scientist, produced the first drawing ever charcoaled by an animal: this sketch showed the bars of the poor creature’s cage."
History: Dolly Dagger is bound to a Napoleonic-era dagger. It reflects the user's self-destructive and violent nature but also his desire for innocence and to shift the blame to others. Vittorio is often shown using Dolly Dagger to engage in self-harm. Dolly Dagger first appears in Chapter 1: Vitti 'na Crozza.
Ability: Dolly Dagger reflects seventy per cent of the damage done to Vittorio to whoever or whatever is reflected in the Stands blade.
Trivia: Vittorio's last name comes from the Italian singer Marianna Cataldi.
"The pain makes everything feel real. Calls forth the life within me! Without that, I'll go extinct." Vittorio Cataldi.
