Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita is one of the most beloved novels ever. And yet, very few of its readers know that the subject of the novel was inspired by a real-life case: the 1948 abduction of 11-year-old Sally Horner. Weaving together suspenseful crime narrative, cultural and social history, and literary investigation, The Real Lolita tells Sally Horner’s full story for the first time. Sarah Weinman uncovers how much Nabokov knew of the Sally Horner case and the efforts he took to disguise that knowledge during the process of writing and publishing Lolita.

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER....

This one makes you larger and this one makes you small - this one makes you happy and this one makes you sad: cigarettes, owned by THE TWINS, one dark, one fair, both deadly.

And so goes the tale of THE SO BLUE MARBLE, Dorothy B. Hughes’ fiction noir. My favorite genre, one of my favorite authors. Thank you Kindle Unlimited, where I got to read and listen to this finely tuned story for free! Will be buying it anyway, the next time the book goes on sale (hint, hint to anyone who might be in charge of these things!). The narration for this title was SO. WELL. DONE, that this is one audiobook I can listen to again and again. What a terrific performance!

I also look forward to reading the book in print as reading is almost always somewhat of a different experience than listening, but I’m sure this one will be equally fine. I read her RIDE THE PINK HORSE which, oh, I thought was just great right from the first page: I really like this author!!

Okay thriller

Disappointing crime story with clueless characters trapped in situations that a sane person would have avoided. I never cared about any of the spoiled and stupid members of the upper class who filled the story.
