“The conjunction of a sense of humor with a sense of horror [results in] satire of a very special kind.”—The New Yorker
One of The Atlantic‘s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
Awe and exhilaration–along with heartbreak and mordant wit–abound in Lolita, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert’s obsession for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America.
Most of all, it is a meditation on love–love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.
