Summary

Lolita in the Afterlife : On Beauty, Risk, and Reckoning with the Most Indelible and Shocking Novel of the Twentieth Century


A vibrant collection of sharp and essential modern pieces on Vladimir Nabokov's perennially provocative book-with original contributions from a stellar cast of prominent twenty-first century writers. In 1958, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita was published in the United States to immediate controversy and bestsellerdom. More than sixty years later, this phenomenal novel generates as much buzz as it did when originally published. Central to countless issues at the forefront of our national discourse-art and politics, race and whiteness, gender and power, sexual trauma-Lolita lives on, in an afterlife as blinding as a supernova. Lolita in the Afterlife is edited by the daughter of Lolita's original publisher in America. WITH CONTRIBUTIONS BY Robin Givhan. Aleksandar Hemon. Jim Shepard. Emily Mortimer. Laura Lippman. Erika L.
