I know this book is brilliant. I can feel it in my bones. But I don’t cognitively get it yet. I will when I reread it in a couple years after I’ve finished school

"Lolita, mijn levenslicht, mijn lendevuur. Mijn zonde, mijn ziel. Lo-lie-ta: de tongpunt daalt drie treden het gehemelte af en tikt bij drie tegen de tanden. Lo. Lie. Ta. Ze was Lo, gewoon Lo, als ze met haar één meter vijftig 's ochtends met één sok aan stond. Ze was Lola in een lange broek. Ze was Dolly op school. Ze was Dolores als ze ergens haar naam onder zette. Maar in mijn armen was ze altijd Lolita."

En zo begint een reis waarin de taal haast gevaarlijk wordt; waarin de lezer beseft dat hij zich laat meevoeren in het proza van de verteller, en zo soms zelfs de misdaden die hij begaat durft vergeten.
