It is an extraordinary and utterly original novel about loneliness, friendship and the possibility of love.

Written in a wholly innovative form for three simultaneous voices, Diary of a Bad Year is enthralling, unexpected and deeply moving.

La historia de la obsesión de Humbert Humbert, un profesor cuarentón, por la doceañera Lolita es una extraordinaria novela de amor en la que intervienen dos componentes explosivos: la atracción «perversa» por las nínfulas y el incesto. Un itinerario a través de la locura y la muerte, que desemboca en una estilizadísima violencia, narrado a la vez, con autoironía y lirismo desenfrenado, por el propio Humbert Humbert. Lolita es también un retrato ácido y visionario de los Estados Unidos, de los horrores suburbanos y de la cultura del plástico y del motel. En resumen, una exhibición deslumbrante de talento y humor a cargo de un escritor que confesó que le hubiera encantado filmar los pic-nics de Lewis Carrol.
