Well said, SKB. Let me add that you can find concrete dinosaurs not quite in
the middle of, but certainly at the edge of, the desert outside of Los
Angeles. Is California quirky? You bet. As SKB suggests, with polite
restraint, given the plot of Lulu, Ada would probably be a more likely
intertext. Ill bet anyone a Euro that the reviewer hasnt read Ada. And
the reviewers bald statement that Humbert Humbert narrates Lolita out of
deepest shame for what he did to an innocent girl is certainly open to
debate. I havent read Evisons novel, but I certainly wouldnt let this
superficial review dissuade me from cracking it open up!
