作者简介

Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov was born on April 23, 1899, in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Nabokovs were known for their high culture and commitment to public service, and the elder Nabokov was an outspoken opponent of antisemitism and one of the leaders of the opposition party, the Kadets. In 1919, following the Bolshevik revolution, he took his family into exile. Four years later he was shot and killed at a political rally in Berlin while trying to shield the speaker from right-wing assassins.

内容简介

When it was published in 1955, Lolita immediately became a cause célèbre because of the freedom and sophistication with which it handled the unusual erotic predilections of its protagonist. But Vladimir Nabokov’s wise, ironic, elegant masterpiece owes its stature as one of the twentieth century’s novels of record not to the controversy its material aroused but to its author’s use of that material to tell a love story almost shocking in its beauty and tenderness.

    Reading Nabokov is like doing him a blowjob 词句是纤巧蝴蝶,头韵在唇齿摩挲,纯粹审美地玩弄语言。可从任何角度解读:前现代的退行(nymph与非理性狂恋;寡妇竟然就被撞死;不申请监护人是不敢制度化),弗洛伊德(男人要变形回男孩,童年却又烦人浅薄,她要喝每一杯冰饮,她是美国最喜欢的顾客),历史(“欧洲被诱奸”),儿童发展学(怎样正确引导洛丽塔?最可恶可怕是伊甸)…它精细如现实,原始如传说,仅看金句化用频率,也可称现代莎剧;也如莎剧,总能吸引道德家。但我做不到了,从头就给亨伯特留了门隙,读到下部第二十九章,是真的心神颤抖,悲从中来。谎言和感动一体两面,交织出无处容身的绝望之爱,look at this tangle of thorns. 我无法视而不见。2020-08-31

    年少的时候读过片段,这次才算仔细把英文原著从头读完。作为史上最容易被误读的小说之一,无论是将它看做道德批判还是爱情故事,都是一样陷入了纳博科夫本人构建的陷阱。这次阅读让我再次体认到纳博科夫某种意义上真的是“作者的作者”,所谓“纯文学”的化身。拒绝用文学去“说明”观点,拒绝依循传统教条,而是坚持用强大的互文性和复杂如棱镜、如迷宫游戏般的文本,去探索审美和人性情感、智性的边界。2018-07-22
