About this product
Product Information
Midway through the last century, Lolita burst on the literary scene--a Russian exile's extraordinary gift to American letters and the New World. The scandal provoked by the novel's subject--the sexual passion of a middle-aged European for a twelve-year-old American girl--was quickly upstaged by the critical attention it received from readers, scholars, and critics around the world. This casebook gathers together an interview with Nabokov as well as nine critical essays about Lolita. The essays follow a progression focusing first on textual and thematic features and then proceeding to broader topics and cultural implications, including the novel's relations to other works of literature and art and the movies adapted from it.

Seller is great and responsive. USPS is awful. They gave my package to the wrong address, it was opened and another expected packaged Blu Ray was opened, lost it original mail packaging, and inserted into this order's package, then put infrpn of my door later that day. Thankfully nothing was damaged. Overall great nostalgic X-men comic, and great repsonsive seller. USPS is the only problem here.

I ordered this book May 14th and didn't receive it until May 28th. I waited 5 days to contact the seller after purchase because they hadn't shipped yet. They thanked me for reaching out but still they exceeded the delivery date. I have never had to wait this long for a delivery. Very poor customer service. Booked arrived in good condition despite inadequate packaging. I will not purchase from this seller again.
