Book Description
Nabokov's best critic here demonstrates how extraordinarily important the material of popular culture can be in the creation of works of high art. Lolita takes a central place in this book: Mr. Appel discusses its roots in American popular culture, Nabokov's part in the making of Kubrik's filmed version, and the film itself. All of Nabokov's works are treated, and many other writers are discussed.
