Should Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita be removed from school lists? Stephen Mills and I discuss this and our personal encounters with sexual abuse

Winner of the 2022 National Jewish Book Award, author Stephen Mills and I discuss his book, "The Chosen - A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood" after touching on Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita". We talk about how Nabokov's writing should be read by all adults and transition to sharing personal testimonies of sexual abuse in this highly emotional episode.
