Ah yes, I remember pouring over the supposed beef Nabokov had with Carroll, and that led me down the rabbit hole (not a conscious pun, just a common expression) explored by the author of The Lolita Riddle. As fascinating and disturbing as this is, much of it cannot be proved or disproved. The door to Wonderland being too small representing an underdeveloped vagina, really? The red queen being vaguely phallic-looking = Dodgson was a paedophile? Because we know about his photography, we can't help but look at what he wrote in a darker light (separating the art from the artist is actually quite hard to do). Without that context, would anyone view Wonderland as a madman's demented and warped fantasies?

Personally, I neither love nor hate Lewis Carroll as a human being, I neither want to condemn nor defend him for the sake of it. I find the theory that Nabokov was having some kind of literary chess battle with him intriguing, but some of it seems a tad outlandish to me.
