Remote Proctoring deemed illegal as violation of 4th amendment rights?

[Jonathan Whatley]

Just here noting that works written in English by non-native speakers of English include Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad, born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, was Polish), Lolita, and Things Fall Apart.

Are we going to call "Lolita" a book about pedophilia a great piece of work?

Media about abuse does not necessarily support abuse. Very often it opposes it! This is true of books, movies, TV, podcasts, etc.

I haven't read more than a few paragraphs of Lolita but have read and heard wide-ranging discussion about it.

It's often described by acknowledged experts as exceptionally well-written. It's often part of college reading lists, great books lists by acknowledged experts, library core collections by professional librarians.

I believe it's widely held by critics that the book does NOT glorify, glamorize, endorse, or support pedophilia. It's often engaged with as an important work by critics including feminists who make clear that they have no sympathy for the character Humbert.

This is consistent with the few paragraphs I read. Humbert came across as a thoroughly pathetic abuser.

I guess Humbert was not a maximally cartoonish monster, making ugly lecherous expressions every waking moment. He might have even had some funny bits, even in some sense relatable bits. These things are often true even of abusers.
