The real Lolita : the kidnapping of Sally Horner… von Sarah Weinman

Kind of mediocre non fiction. The connection between Vladimir Nabokov’s character and a real life kidnapping case described within is not really convincing. Perhaps, it’s that I hardly care whether Nabokov did base his famous novel Lolita on the case or not. His might have been better if the author had focused on true crime writing and not speculation. Then again that’s just my opinion.

The Real Lolita: A Lost Girl, an Unthinkable Crime,… von Sarah Weinman

I enjoyed the scope covered by this book. I wish the author would be more specific on certain points. For instance, when she danced around the question of whether Nabokov based the book on Sally Horner's ordeal, or not. She never explained why this was so important to establish. What if he did? What he did not but actually crafted the novel Lolita independent of any true events? I wonder was she implying he is a s*xual deviant. Or can we conclude it anyway based on his background.

The Real Lolita: The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and… von Sarah Weinman

I have never read Lolita, but if I ever do, I can say with certainty that reading this book will have enhanced the experience. Everything I learned in this book is important, from the actual intent of the original book and the actual story of Sally Horner and what she suffered. So much is lost when you get swept up in what people assume is meant on something they've never read. This is a stark reminder of what is present- as well as what is not.
Technically speaking, this book is very well paced, easy to follow, and well written. Its respectful of the pain involved and doesn't go into unnecessary detail about any of the harm done. I recommend it to anyone who has the stomach for knowing more about the subject matters.… (mehr)

The Real Lolita: The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and… von Sarah Weinman

“The appreciation of art can make a sucker out of those who forget the darkness of real life.”

I’m not a big fan of true crime stories and I’ve never read Lolita or anything else from Nabokov, and I still found this a compelling story. Recommended.
