The question of whether Lolita, a novel written by Vladimir Nabokov, has become a new form of pornography or a form of literature has yet to be answered. Due to the many controversies surrounding this novel, an entirely new form of writing was created during its time period.

She was the one who allowed Lolita to move forward and eventually become the novel it is now.

This attention prompted the first ban on "Lolita" in 1955.

Comments like these have been made all over the United States. Fortunately, his supporters overwhelmed them. Although the controversy over Lolita has lasted for decades, it is clear that, whether it is pornography or not, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita will always remain a controversial new art form. . What is known is that masterpieces like Lolita always have secrets that are slowly revealed over the years.
