It's not easy--I had to reread the first 35 pages about five times before I could really grasp them, but god was it worth it. It is a perfect, complicated, epic love story, and Nabokov makes every phrase delicious. So, thanks for this. Also, in case you or other Nabokov fans haven't seen it, check out this great video interview (in two parts) of VN and Lionel Trilling discussing Lolita: http://therumpus.net/2010/01/vladimir-nabokov-and-lionel-trilling-discuss-lolita/ Kathleen, this is a beautiful review of a book that is also at the very top of my list of best-evers.
