Quotable at any rate.
"If 'Lolita' explores a middle-aged man's twisted but heartfelt passion for a young girl, 'Roger Fishbite' works as black comedy, portraying an indifferent society that destroys its own children. Never is Lucky more affecting than when she lets down her guard and acts like the kid she is. Of her sordid adventures with Fishbite, she writes: 'I had not yet reached the age when doing wrong excited me. I'd rather have gone back to school and gotten A's. I was beginning to do well at geometry and, frankly, I missed it.'"
