No Thanks, Mr. Nabokov

[Mark Kohut]

And now leads me to suggest that Humbert Humbert hisself (in Lolita) is very like a 
  character caught in GR's world, say...like that ape who draws the bars that contain him
  in the beginning of L., HH's evil lust is as perversely 'out of control' as the driven sex, the narrow physiology-only sex urges played out in so many scenes in GR......

on by Humbert's lustful descriptions at times.  The unappealing brat
shows through numerous times also, but Humbert's lust overcomes all
her shortcomings.  I think he hit the ball out of the park with
Lolita.
