Lolita is one of the finest novels of the latter half of the 20th century. It is even BETTER if you have read Nabokov's thoroughgoing contempt for this vivid character he created, Humbert Humbert. And the best testimony to his greatness as an artist that he could invent such an amoral self-deceiver as Humbert, while himself being the most loyal, meditative, butterfly-chasing husband to the same woman for many decades.
