Hello,
My name is Carrie Kania and I work with the Vice-President/Publisher of Random
House AudioBooks, Michael Morrison. One of the first things Mr. Morrison did
when he took the position of Publisher, was to sign Jeremy Irons to read
LOLITA, unabridged. One of the reasons Random House AudioBooks took on such a
project was the due to the fact that the only version of LOLITA on audio for
the retail market was 90 minutes in length. I think James Mason is an
incredible Humbert Humbert and would encourage anyone to listen, but (and this
is not as biased as it looks) Jeremy Irons reading LOLITA - complete - is one
of the finest recordings I have ever listened to. The reviews from The Chicago
Tribune, The Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, The New York Observer, and
even Entertainment Weekly have been phenomenal. I am immensely proud to be a
(small) part of this production.
I have a limited number of 30-minute sample tapes available that I would be
more than happy to send out. Please feel free to email me:
