About This Book
"The only convincing love story of our century." --Vanity Fair
"Lolita blazes with a perversity of a most original kind. For Mr. Nabokov has
distilled from his shocking material hundred-proof intellectual farce . . .
Lolita seems an assertion of the power of the comic spirit to wrest delight and
truth from the most outlandish materials. It is one of the funniest serious
novels I have ever read; and the vision of its abominable hero, who never
deludes or excuses himself, brings into grotesque relief the cant, the
vulgarity, and the hypocritical conventions that pervade the human comedy."
--Atlantic Monthly
"Intensely lyrical and wildly funny." --Time
"The conjunction of a sense of humor with a sense of horror [results in] satire
of a very special kind, in which vice or folly is regarded not so much with
scorn as with profound dismay and a measure of tragic sympathy . . . The
reciprocal flow of irony gives to both the characters and their surroundings the
peculiar intensity of significance that attends the highest art." --The New
Yorker
"Lolita is an authentic work of art which compels our immediate response and
serious reflection--a revealing and indispensable comedy of horrors." --San
Francisco Chronicle
