3. I haven't read "Lolita", but I have read "Death in Venice" |
|
So, I'm choosing that.
But I did like, very much, Kubrick's film version of "Lolita"

But "Death in Venice" was a bit disturbing.

because of the lyrical, poetic use of language. (My German isn't good enough to read Death in Venice in the original, so I can't really make a fair comparison.)

If you've seen the movie, but not read the book, you've cheated yourself. The movie is a story of a molestation, but the book is a masterpiece of word sculpture.
Read it. I command you.
