See all- Lolita by Vladimir NabokovLink visible for attendees
Much has been made of Lolita as metaphor, perhaps because the love affair at its heart is so troubling - the obsession of a European intellectual adrift in America in pursuit of the forbidden seduction of a young girl.
Playfully perverse in form as well as content, riddled with puns and literary allusions, Nabokov's 1955 novel is a hymn to the Russian-born author's delight in his adopted language. We'll discuss what makes this controversial satire one of the most celebrated masterpieces of the 20th century.
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov is available in all formats at public libraries and bookstores.
