"*Lolita*, a famed and infamous best-seller, remains largely unexplored.
A book of passion and possession it certainly is—in all senses of these
words—but much of what it means remains to be said though it is fully there
for us to discover.
Readers are invited to a gratifying inquiry into the particulars of the text
and its complex entwining—much as Humbert is compelled to a superficially
similar scrutiny.
An imperialist and cowardly tyrant, a monster and would-be-Apollo, Humbert
pounces on a child's body as he would take possession of a continent.
Ultimately though, in the New World where that domestic Hitler comes to know
democracy as well as mass culture (Hollywood, comics, ...), Quilty, a
Dionysian figure and his antagonistic double, upends Humbert's assumed
character and the order prevailing so far."
This rough translation of the back cover blurb fails to reflect all this
study means to investigate and bring into light. Thomas Aquinas,
Baden-Powell, Boris Karloff, Captain America, Carl Jung, Carole Lombard,
Cary Grant, Chaplin, Clarabelle Cow, Clark Gable, Fritz Lang, Harlequin,
Hitler, J.M. Barrie, John Heartfield, King Arthur, Li'l Abner, Maupassant,
Petrarch, Proust, Rousseau, Shirley Temple, Shklovsky and Superman are but a
few of the figures called as witnesses, plaintiffs or accomplices (through
no fault of their own).
I hope you find the time for a peek into the book and enjoy it.
For the record, I would also like to mention that, the year before, I
co-edited a collection of essays (in English and in French) on *Lolita*—the
novel by Nabokov and Kubrick's film (the book is still available):
