Playboy often bills itself as America’s most intelligent smut
magazine and Nabokov was certainly one of America’s most intelligent smut
authors.
Did not Nabokov invite just this description by his bizarre collusion with
Playboy? If "Lolita" is a truly moral work, what was he playing at? To
Nabokovians it may betoken some kind of amused sophisticion, but does it
not demonstrate a moral confusion?
