Roger Fishbite is a novel by the American writer and journalist Emily Prager, which was published in 1999. Themes and literary connectionsThe novel was written partly as a literary parody of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, partly as a "reply both to the book and to the icon that the character Lolita has become."[1] It tells the story of thirteen-year-old Lucky Lady Linderhoff, and her mother, and their lodger, whom Lucky calls Roger Fishbite.[2] While taking its inspiration from Nabokov's Lolita, Prager's novel is narrated by Lucky, not Fishbite, and displays a number of twists and turns that differ from the original text. Prager also updates the story, setting it in the modern-day period, rather than choosing to set it in the 1950s.[3] ReviewsAt the heart of the novel is the issue that Lucky raises constantly throughout: The way in which children in America (and western society in general, I would add) are hated and feared by a society that seeks to eroticise them whilst at the same time destroying them.[4] What prevents the novel from devolving into an inside joke is the enthralling voice of Lucky Linderhof, who, at nearly 15, tells her tale with the world-weariness befitting an elder statesman of child abuse.[5] References1. ^Author's Note, Prager, Emily - Roger Fishbite, Vintage: 1999 {{Refimprove|date=October 2010}}2. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/books/99/05/23/bib/990523.rv110258.html?_r=1| date=May 23, 1999| author= ANDREA HIGBIE| work=the New York Times| title=Books: Roger Fishbite}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://bookmooch.com/0679410538 |title=Emily Prager : Roger Fishbite: A Novel |publisher=Bookmooch.com |date=1999-03-16 |accessdate=2010-10-13 }}{{dead link|date=April 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thefword.org.uk/reviews/2006/07/roger_fishbite |title=Roger Fishbite |publisher=The F-Word |date=2006-07-02 |accessdate=2010-10-13}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.salon.com/books/review/1999/04/14/prager |title=Roger Fishbite |publisher=Salon.com |date=1999-04-14 |accessdate=2010-10-13}} External links
