The Annotated Lolita is the definitive annotated text of the modern classic, written by one of the most punning and allusive writers in English since James Joyce. It assiduously glosses Lolita's extravagant wordplay and its frequent literary allusions, parodies, and cross references. --back cover
My sweet love, you who like this book so much, to you the three stars worth of my infinite devotion for you...
I'm incapable of writing thoughtful and in-depth reviews so if that's what you're looking for, please continue scrolling by.
I've been meaning to read Lolita for a very long time. When I was in high school, a friend of mine did a presentation on it in English class and then I wanted to read it more than ever. Fast forward three years or so and I'm in university. I'm taking a Russian literature class with a couple of friends "for fun" and this book is on the reading list.
I just had to gobble it up.
Lolita is a beautiful and twisted book.
Nabokov is a genius.
That is all.
Also, I have absolutely no desire to write a quiz on this book next week please kill me.
