Book Reviews of Nabokov: Novels 1955-1962: Lolita / Pnin / Pale Fire (Library of America)
Book Review: "Pale Fire" and "Lolita"
Summary: 4 Stars
"Pnin" isn't that great, in my opinion. On the other hand, "Lolita" and "Pale Fire" are hilarious send ups of intellectuals (which Nabokov obviously was, too). That's right: "Lolita" isn't mainly about pedophilia--it's about the equally perverse desire to mold youth to fit one's own wishes.
