I think this is a thing that female writers do, maybe more than male writers.
She observes the clothes of Lolita in a way that we know.
Thin gold chain around your neck.
Yeah, but she's also like, she's wearing a grey T-shirt.
and khaki shorts but we know men are falling in love with her so we know she looks good in nothing like she looks good so Lolita's really interesting as well she is from India her parents are from very different backgrounds and they're rebellious and they're a love story yeah and they're from sort of one very upper middle class one very working class and they chose each other and they yeah they fell in love in Moscow because obviously parts of India are very I know I'm not quite 100% this but like
are more marxist communists they have links in a way that perhaps we don't maybe don't know so they go to russia for their university training they meet there they go back to india so when the opportunity for their daughter i think it's like a scheme where she is allowed to go and learn medicine in east germany they're very supportive of it so lolita is in her 20s she's come to um this small town near berlin to
to train as a doctor.
She speaks German.
Yeah, so Theo is our only sort of main white, actually German character.
His parents, he was raised in East Germany.
His grandfather is a sort of hero of the communist regime because he chose to live in East Germany, even though he could have stayed in France.
And Theo is a very observant, very intelligent man.
And at school, the Stasi say...
hey, you'd be good.
And he says, no, which fucks his whole life because he won't go and train for the Stasi.
Because you're now an enemy.
Yes.
You find out about it via Theo.
But what I love so much, if you know this time period and you're interested in, you know, communism and all the rest of it,
We know lots about the Stasi.
