No, Lolita by Nabokov is not banned in France. I saw this book myself in a French library a few years ago. And according to French wikipedia (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita#Les_traductions_fran.C3.A7aises https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita#Les_traductions_fran.C3...), a new French translation was published in 2001.
- mistersquid 10y agoIt's been a while since I've read _Lolita_. If my memory serves me correctly, the novel contains no depictions of sex or sexual intimacy. Amazing work of literature, by the way.
- exolymph 10y agoThat's incorrect. For example, the scene where HH climaxes with Dolly on his lap. (I don't think Lolita should be banned anywhere. It's not a pro-pedophilia artwork.)
