After dusty years in my bookshelf, finally I decided to read "Lolita". I am blown away by this Vladimir Nabokov 's work, ironic and dramatic at the same time. I am not shocked, nor I have found those disastrous tones of an announced tragedy that I was expecting from this book. Indeed Nabokov tells us that this work:. Dopo anni di polverosa presenza nel mio scaffale, decido con moderato entusiasmo di leggere questo libro. Ironico e drammatico al contempo, quest'opera di Vladimir Nabokov mi ha spiazzato.

John Jesnor Lindsay born is a Scottish former photographer who turned to the more lucrative trade of making blue movies during the late s and all the way through the s. A former student of the Glasgow School of Art , Lindsay had begun his career as a photojournalist with limited financial success. In a hint of what was to come later, by the late sixties Lindsay had turned to photographing nudes for magazines like Penthouse and Mayfair. Lindsay filmed his short films on 16 mm film for distribution on 8 mm film , as that was the major market. Hardcore pornography was just around the corner, and by , Lindsay had shot around blue films for the 8mm market. Ultimately, Lindsay would become as synonymous with blue films in the s as Harrison Marks had with glamour photography in the s. Lindsay's most notorious productions were his so-called "Teenage" or "Lolita" series of films, in which adult actresses portrayed British schoolgirls in a variety of pornographic scenarios—although it seems the same two school uniforms were recycled from film to film. The titles of these jailbait themed films included Sex After School , Schoolgirl Joyride and most famously Jolly Hockey Sticks , which involved a middle aged lesbian gym mistress seducing one of her teenage girl pupils in the schools changing room after hockey practice. While the "schoolgirls" who appeared in Lindsay's films were clearly nothing of the sort, on at least one occasion the settings were accurate. During his trial it emerged that at least eleven of Lindsay's films had been filmed at Aston Manor , a secondary school in Birmingham.
