"On Nabokov and Lolita" – Autograph Draft of an Article by Leah Goldberg
"On Nabokov and Lolita", autograph draft of an article (67 pp.) by Leah Goldberg. [1959]. Hebrew.
Lengthy critique dealing with the work of Vladimir Nabokov, and comparing his novel Lolita (1955) to the novel Doctor Zhivago (1957) by Boris Pasternak.
Goldberg writes: "[…] and indeed, honest people among the simple readers of Pasternak and Nabokov have made their verdict: Pasternak is 'boring' and Nabokov is 'pornographic', and he too is 'boring' in all those chapters that are not pornography"; and later: "[…] Nabokov's book needs to be approached cautiously maybe even more than Pasternak's, since it has much more leaves that act on the senses, which might discourage the sensitive reader and which might, in the worst case, fulfill the needs of those people who seek sensual stimulation rather than artistic pleasure from literature. Surely this book is mostly a work of art, and from a purely artistic perspective, it is possibly the most perfect among all that has been written in the last twenty years".
This draft comprises 67 pages and includes many erasures and corrections.
The final version of the article was published in the Molad journal edited by Ephraim Broido (issue 17, 1959).
