A review by pansy_ass
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

5.0

This was entrancing. Nabokov’s style of writing is that of a heady dream, abstract and celestial, poetic to the point of near esotericism at times. I am obsessed with the aesthetic of these words. Never have a read a novel more atmospheric than this. The characters and settings seem to play around you in nearly intangible mists and coloured lights. Never is anything described in too solid a level of detail. This book is watercolour paint, not oil or graphite or ink. Let it consume you in its amorphous uncertainties and subjectivities.
