The recent issue of the *Times Literary Supplement* (August 29 1997), p.14,
contains an essay by Colin McGinn entitled "The Moral Case for *Lolita*."
(Alas, marred by a couple of minor errors: the caption to a photo from the
Kubrick film of the novel remarks that "there are no stills available from
the new *Lolita*," which as anyone on the internet knows is not quite true;
and a quotation from the novel has a lamentable typo: "I was a pentapol
[sic] monster"--whatever that is, though one can imagine this line emerging
in the Paula Jones trial).
