When amazon.com published ‚Lucky Lolita‘ as Kindle eBook a couple of weeks ago, over 300 copies were downloaded in just two days catapulting the autobiography onto nr 1 in the ‚Dysfunctional Families‘ category, until a few hackers took offense at the explicit content and probably also the ‚un-American‘ musings of the young author, who made her way from an illegitimate birth in a Bangkok slum to middle class luxury in Southern California with the swinging couple who adopted her. The book’s website was bombarded with ‚inappropriate‘ clicks until the system blocked it. Now it’s back on line and for sale.
In the foreword for her book Dolly Taahq writes:
A few months ago I saw a rerun of the 1997 Movie LOLITA on TV and was surprised and shocked how similar the plot was to my own fate, but how completely different too. Since then, I also saw the original Lolita movie from 1962 but never read the book by Vladimir Nabokov on which those two movies were based. That novel was a total fabrication, inspired by news reports about the abduction of an eleven year old girl on a cross-country road trip in the 1950s. Lolita Haze is twelve when Humbert meets her, and eighteen when the story ends in tragedy.
My own story however is true and spans a much wider range of time and space: it begins before my illegitimate birth in a Bangkok slum and finds a provisional end in modest luxury in Southern California suburbia. My life made me, as everybody tells me and I believe myself, wise beyond my age and I want to tell this story because of all the conflicts of culture, tradition and lifestyle it encompasses.
This book will be no tragedy like the two Lolita movies and original novel. No major disasters, no bloody rages of revenge. Maybe there will be some kind of happy end in the future, but at this point in time we’re all in limbo: My two mothers (by birth and adoption), my ‚Humbert’/stepfather, myself and my present lover.
I have just finished high school and have turned 18. After graduation I left home and spent extended time with my same age boyfriend in the Bay Area. After four months sharing a small apartment with him and his mother, all of us unemployed and me suffering under the damp and smoggy air, I returned to Orange County where I grew up and where I spent the happiest years of my life so far. I’ve been offered an office job and my hardworking mom has finally scraped together enough dollars for a down payment on a nice little house not too far from the beaches. The future looks promising.
