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.
