Roger Fishbite is a novel by the American writer and journalist Emily Prager, which was published in 1999. The 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. . It tells the story of thirteen year old Lucky Lady Linderhoff, and her mother, and their lodger, who Lucky calls Roger Fishbite. Whilst 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 nineteen fifties.
