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

4.0

Overall, I thought this was a very solid collection of essays concerning Nabokov’s ‘Lolita’ and its enduring legacy and importance in light of the #metoo movement. Some essays are stronger than others, and many discussed overlapping themes, but, overall, I found the voices refreshingly honest and the authors’ perspectives led me to find an even deeper appreciation for this incredible novel.
