The Annotated Lolita is the definitive annotated text of the modern classic, written by one of the most punning and allusive writers in English since James Joyce. It assiduously glosses Lolita's extravagant wordplay and its frequent literary allusions, parodies, and cross references. --back cover

I wanted to read this book to see why it is regarded as such a classic. Now I know. Nabokov is truly a master of language, this book‘s prose is truly amazing. However, I could not stand being in the main character‘s head, and so I stopped reading after 50 pages.
