Description: Connolly presents a guide to Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita," one of the most fascinating and controversial novels of the 20th century. Guiding readers through the intricacies of Nabokov's work to help them understand his rich artistic design, the volume concludes with an annotated bibliography of selected critical reading.
Review Quotes: "The importance of this book lies in the way it succinctly summarizes critical viewpoints yet provides a fresh and accessible interpretation of the novel... [Connolly] never claims to give a definitive reading of the book, only to try to help readers "grasp the full complexity and sweep of Nabokov's unique creation" (p.1), which he admirably achieves."
