Lolita

by Vladimir Nabokov

About this title: Vladimir Nabokov's notorious, hilarious erotic murder mystery takes the form of a monologue by his hero, Humbert Humbert, as he attempts to justify his love for and obsession with the barely adolescent Dolores Haze, known as Lolita. Humbert's cross-country flight with his adored nymphet ends with her betrayal of him with his rival, the evil Quilty, who pursues Lolita not out of love but out of lust and selfishness, and who functions as a kind of double for the more pure-hearted (if perverse) Humbert. Some critics see Humbert (who, like Nabokov, was a European émigré) and Lolita (the ... read more

"Deep insights into the mind of a pedophile.
No wonder we never could find it when we were young."

"I feel like a mental midget in trying to explain my feelings about this book. I struggle to understand why it is considered such a classic piece of literature. Am I jaded by my own time? Have I heard too often the world "lolita" used in modern contexts to refer to young girls who are attractive to adult men who should know better? I had to delve into some literary criticism in order to help me understand, and I think what Lolita tries to do is tell a disguting story about a disgusting man using beautiful language. I think it also speaks to our modern day inclination to want to explain ourselves, as if we could absolve ourselves from the horrors of the crimes we commit if it is understood why we did it. Listening to the audiobook, although fabulously read by Jeremy Irons, probably meant that the language was lost on me for the most part. Instead I was left with the story of this self-described monster who destroys a child's life and feels remorse only at losing her. Perhaps revolutionary in its storytelling at the time it was published, but too gross to read today."

"You will fall in love with this book after the first chapter. Really after the first sentence, if you're like me. Wonderful read, fantastical subject, poetic, smooth. My favorite book of all time."

"This isn't the book many of us (US citizens in particular) think it is. The very term lolita didn't mean in the book what it has come to mean in the titles on dozens cheap porn flicks or one handed reading books.

This is a book that does require some work. If you take it up as a pleasant read, or (worse) because you have a paper due for lit class in a week, you'll have every reason to hate it. It isn't enough for me to read Lolita. I have to read about the book, too. There's just too much to simply read and go on. I couldn't let it rest without trying to see more (and I'm usually a very lazy reader.)

This is a deceptive book, as subtle and difficult as the narrator/protagonist. If it were just the pornography it is often depicted as being, it wouldn't be nearly as layered and complex as it is. In fact, I don't think sex is really very important as a whole for the story being told. I've read the novel twice and whatever sex was there is pretty much submerged by the rest of the book -- the language, most of all, and the creeping charm of Humbert Humbert, and the shuddery feeling that nothing can be trusted.

Don't rest after reading the text itself. Find an analysis somewhere, or check what Thomas C. Foster says about it in How to Read Novels Like a Professor. This book unfolds with just a little pressure into something complex, perversely beautiful, and constantly intriguing."
