lolita (nabokov)
Umbrella tag for all iterations of Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov.
Notable in history because Dolores Haze's nickname, Lolita, is the origin of the word "lolicon". The term, being coined in Russell Trainer's pop psychology book The Lolita Complex (released 11 years after Lolita, 10 after the Japanese translation), would gain additional meaning in Japan beyond serving as a synonym for a pedophile, being used equivalent to moe before that word gained traction in the 90s.
