"Lolita deepens our well of compassion and sympathy, whether we like it or not. The predator is caught, but first Nabokov's novel charms and badgers, irritates and delights us into seeing the world through the eyes of the perp. [A] near-miraculous feat."
-Francine Prose writing in Lapham's Quarterly
