Abstract
Wakashima considers the possible reasons why Graham Greene notoriously praised Lolita. He especially explored the so-called “mushroom jungle”—a horde of lurid paperbacks which proliferated and gained a large popularity in postwar Britain—and see how Lolita could be mistakenly considered as a typical product belonging to that genre.
