Items like this sometimes feel to me like premonitions of the journalism and literary criticism of the near future: clear, concise, and consistently incorrect in every single detail.

Re: Chinese versions of Mr. Nabokov's eight to ten novels

It’s not pure spoof is it? It’s taking ‘The Enchanter’ for Lolita (‘Riviera’ inferred from ‘South’). Penny McC.



Lolita, first published in 1955 in Paris, tells the story of a middle-aged man, who falls in love with a 12-year-old girl and marries her sick, widowed mother to satisfy his erotic desires. Hemolests the girl in a Riviera hotel while she's asleep, she wakens and he runs into the traffic and dies.


Oh, really?
