Lo-Fi - Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita (PG, images and text)
So, I took this seriously unconventional class on Lolita in college. Instead of papers, we would do things like write odes to our class roster and fake reviews of the movie versions. It was a neat exercise in addressing a text through form as well as content. Our final projects were to be a series of notecards that would outline a fictitious paper about the story. Mine turned into a reinterpretation, about time travel, in collage. No, really. Look and see: there's an annotated version as well as the bare project.
