Is the book "Lolita" famous in Japan?

Question:

Just wondering since the childish fashion is called Lolita fashion and a pedophile is called a lolicon.

Answer:

From Wikipedia

"The phrase is a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's book Lolita, in which a middle-age man becomes sexually obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl.[31] The term "Lolita complex" was first used in the early 1970s with the translation of Russell Trainer's The Lolita Complex and may have entered Japanese nomenclature at that time.[22] Shinji Wada used the word in his Stumbling upon a Cabbage Field (キャベツ畑でつまずいて, Kyabetsu-batake de Tsumazuite?),"

What's not mentioned here is that In Trainer's book, the term was used to describe little girls' obsession with adult males, so it's originally the other way around. (from Japanese Wiki)
