In 1954 Vladimir Nabokov asked one American publisher to consider "a firebomb that I have just finished putting together." The explosive device: Lolita, his morality play about a middle-aged European's obsession with a 12-year-old American girl. Two years later, the New York Times called it "great art." Other reviewers staked a higher moral ground (the editor of the London Sunday Express declaring it "the filthiest book I've ever read"). Since then, the sinuous novel has never ceased to astound. Even Nabokov was astonished by its place in the popular imagination. One biographer writes that "he was quite shocked when a little girl of eight or nine came to his door for candy on Halloween, dressed up by her parents as Lolita." And when it came time to casting the film, Nabokov declared, "Let them find a dwarfess!"
The character Lolita's power now exists almost separately from the endlessly inventive novel. If only it were read as often as it is alluded to. Alfred Appel Jr., editor of the annotated edition, has appended some 900 notes, an exhaustive, good-humored introduction, and a recent preface in which he admits that the "reader familiar with Lolita can approach the apparatus as a separate unit, but the perspicacious student who keeps turning back and forth from text to Notes risks vertigo." No matter. The notes range from translations to the anatomical to the complex textual. Appel is also happy to point out the Great Punster's supposedly unintended word play: he defends the phrase "Beaver Eaters" as "a portmanteau of 'Beefeaters' (the yeoman of the British royal guard) and their beaver hats."
Book Description

What is pornography?.......2007-10-06
Having read Lolita over thirty-five years ago, my fondest memories pertain to the comments made by Nabokov in his afterward. Those who would comment on the pornographic nature of the work either ignored this part or misunderstood it.
Adds a new dimension to a novel I admired already.......2007-05-07
It's hard to imagine a better qualified person to annotate Nabokov's Lolita.
Appel has an extensive knowledge of Nabokov's life and work. He met Nabokov, on several occasions, and used those opportunities to find out information that only the author could know.
Appel uses this knowledge to add new, profound and, sometimes just simply amusing insights into a novel that I always admired but also felt frustrated by the mystery shrouding it. To be sure, even after reading Appel's Annotated Lolita enough mystery still remains to keep me intrigued and also to renew my appreciation for Nabokov's amazing mind.
The Annotated Lolita contains a lengthy introduction by Appel that covers other Nabokov's works, his life and his philosophy. The, sometimes dense, annotations are scattered through the text very unobtrusively so that it is quite possible to read the novel with or without Appel's help.
If Satan took up literature, he'd write like Nabokov.......2007-03-19
As I grow old and older, I ask myself all too often why I bother? Haven't I eaten enough toast? Haven't I bent over to tie enough shoes? Then I come across an author like Vladimir Nabokov and a book like *Lolita,* an author and a book that, although Ive read thousands and thousands of books in my time, I somehow never read before. Maybe it was his name, or fame, or the fact that a movie was made of his most famous novel. There are books that you feel you've already read, even though you havent, just because they are so famous, or infamous. This is one of those books. But if you havent read it and think you know what its all about, youre wrong, utterly and 100% wrong, and youre missing one of the great joys of a reader's life: the prose of Vladimir Nabokov.
This book is fiendishly good. It undermines everything we "ought" to feel, then it makes us feel it; finally it pulls the rug out from under us altogether. Nabokov's narrator, Humbert Humbert, is a child molestor, that's what we'd call him in the bald and unfancy terminology of today. He's a sick, abusive, predatory pervert. Yet it's his voice that entertains us throughout *Lolita,* and entertains us it does. Humbert is urbane, intelligent, self-deprecating, cynical, and laugh-out-loud funny. He's a poet and a romantic. He's the English professor we all wish we had. He knows that what he's doing is wrong. He's the first to admit it. He's the first to admit everything, including that he can't help himself. He is, you see, in love, hopelessly and authentically and obsessively in love. The problem is that she's twelve years old.
Now the truly devilish thing about *Lolita* is that of all the characters in the novel, including even Lolita herself, its Humbert that draws our "sympathy," so to speak. Sympathy for the devil, it is, in spite of ourselves, in the sense that we see the world most vividly from his point-of-view, in the sense that he seems more alive than anyone else in the novel, more perceptive, more uncompromisingly self-honest, more human and, in the end, the most tragic of all the characters. He's a man with an indelible flaw, he's a man in love, no matter how misguided, no matter how criminal, and its Nabokov's "evil" genius to get us to accept Humbert Humbert as our sick hero, man who we might send to prison for fifty years, but who we couldn't help feeling more than a twinge of regret having to do so.
One would be hard-pressed to come up with a prose-stylist whose voice is smoother, more casually erudite, and more post-contemporary than Nabokov...and this in a novel that is already half-a-century old! An amazing text from an author who has after 300 pages of pure reading bliss, shot instantaneously to the top of my favorite author's list, *Lolita* is a book I should have read a hundred years ago, but instead sat wasting my time in graduate literature courses! What are they teaching in schools anyway? I'm ordering up some more Nabokov novels immediately, if not sooner. You should too.
Annotations Not Within Text.......2006-12-02
In the Annotated Lolita the annotations are treated like endnotes...they are given a number at the margin and then you can reference them in the back of the book. This will disappoint any reader who likes the annotations interspersed while they read.
Important Note about the Annotated Version.......2006-11-21
Greg Hullender's review (which is a Spotlight Review as I type) is dead on, especially insofar as he points out that all but the most erudite reader will miss out on most of what is going on beneath the surface of the page without reading the annotations. But...
It should be emphasized that, if you read the annotations during your first time through the book, you will completely and totally spoil the story. Put otherwise, the outcome of the whole book is given away in the first few annotations, and repeated many times thereafter. Unless you're the kind of person who reads the last page of a book first, don't read the annotations the first time through.
Also, I think it is helpful to know that Nabokov was no fan of symbolism or allegories... so don't waste time and energy looking for them in Lolita, because the author himself said that they're not there.

Six years after her amazingly successful debut, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, Melissa Bank rewards her fans for their patience with The Wonder Spot, a refreshingly honest interpretation of one young woman's journey into adulthood. As we follow heroine Sophie Applebaum through a comfortable, yet awkward childhood in suburban Pennsylvania to the challenges of finding love and a career in midtown Manhattan, The Wonder Spot is never guilty of the self-indulgent traps set by other members of the Chick Lit genre Bank helped launch.
We first meet the Applebaum clan on their way to cousin Rebecca's bat mitzvah in Chappaqua, New York, where Sophie ends up sneaking cigarettes in the woods with a handsome eighth grader one year her senior. Yet even this minor rebellion is more charming than anything else; as with most of her future transgressions, Sophie is less the instigator than the innocent witness. Defining moments in Sophie's life are revealed through her relationships: an almost mythical college roommate named Venice; her charismatic yet capricious older brother; her brilliant younger brother; her unpenetrable father; and her hilarious grandmother, who takes it upon herself to save her "Sophila" from "impending spinsterhood." Of course no real journey into young womanhood is complete without a series of committment phobic, potentially deliquent, overly nice men whose appearances seem less about love than about demonstrating our heroine's inability to ever truly be comfortable with herself. As Sophie observes during a seventh grade skating party, "I felt sure that everyone was looking at me and then realized that no one was, and i experienced the distinct shame of each."
Undeniably clever, occasionally hilarious, and often poignant, The Wonder Spot is captivating enough for readers to forgive Sophie's indecisive, self-destructive tendancies and simply bask in her sincerity. --Gisele Toueg
Wonder Woman: An Amazon.com Interview with Melissa Bank |
Melissa Bank's bestselling 1999 debut, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, took readers by storm and heralded the wave of Chick Lit to follow in its wake. Bank is back with her new book, The Wonder Spot, a series of interconnected stories chronicling the bittersweet misadventures of middle-child Sophie Applebaum, from adolescence to adulthood. Amazon.com senior editor Brad Thomas Parsons exchanged e-mail with Bank to talk about writer's block, Curtis Sittenfeld's very public take-down in the Sunday Times, and the dreaded "c" word--Chick Lit.

Book Description
Melissa Bank's debut, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, was a literary landmark and a runaway bestseller. Now, in The Wonder Spot, she reminds us why she has been compared to John Cheever and Raymond Carver. Shaped by Bank's trademark blend of emotional depth and wry humor, The Wonder Spot traces the coming-of-age of Sophie, black sheep of the Applebaum family of Surrey, Pennsylvania. As we follow her from the sweet bewildering moments of adolescence through the rigors of life and love in New York City, we are treated to a profoundly intelligent, page-turning triumph that confirms Melissa Bank's reputation as a singular talent.
Customer Reviews:
Very entertaining book if you haven't read "Girls Guide".......2007-09-10
I listened to this audiobook, never having heard of Melissa Bank or her bestselling prior novel. It was read by her, which I think helped really get the tone of the main character correct. It was hilarious, moving, and deep, and I was very sad for it to end. Being part of a Jewish family, I saw so many of my family members in her characters. The main character, Sophie, was completely believable, so much so that I thought this was an autobiographical book, but can't find anything written to support that. Very very witty writing. I want to go find Girls Guide now. Glad I "read" this one first and fell in love with it, now I think I will really love her bestseller.
Keep Your Sophies Straight.......2007-06-13
I liked The Girl's Guide, and I also liked The Wonder Spot. What I liked about Wonder Spot was that it was so much like Girl's Guide, but I'm probably unusual because I could go on reading Melissa Bank's stories forever and eating the same dish from the same Chinese restaurant every single night. The books are so similar that several of the characters names from the first book have been repeated in the second, although THEY ARE NOT the same characters. This totally messed me up, because in Girls Guide a story includes a scene at Sophie's wedding, and Wonder Spot's protagonist is named Sophie -- but it's not the same Sophie! Right after Girls Guide, I read Wonder Spot and was like, "Yeah, but where's lovable Jane from Girl's Guide?!" After, I went back to cross reference Sophie and discovered it was not the same character. I have no idea why, or even how, Melissa Bank's publisher didn't change this. Think about it, it's really weird. But it's a good read anyway, they're both good reads, but with Wonder Spot you have to be willing to read more of the same. And keep your Sophies, Roberts, Maxs (etc.) straight.
Yes, alike indeed. .......2007-06-10
I waited a long time for Bank to come out with a second novel as well.
And it is similiar to A girls guide without as much magic. But, Bank does have an amazing ability to write a character to her core, and know every aspect of her. I love that the book follows you through Sophie's life, and weaves in an out leaving questions unanswered, and leaves you with no need to have them answered. Characters come and go, and you don't get filled in on important pieces of her history, like what she was like with Chris. But, it seems very real in this way. Her character is similiar to the lost girl in Girls guide with much the same career, life, upbringing, brother relationship, etc. Bank only seems to write what she knows as most characters become boringly all writers, or painters, publishers, editors, with an occasional doctor thrown in. Bank is such a sharp witty writer, that even though this book is definitely not the magic of her first book, it's still good, and well developed. The ending is a little abrubt, and not profound at all. it does not leave you with unanswered questions, but rather without any sense of knowing what will happen or if our Sophie has really finished her journey. I would recommend Girls Guide more readily, but still would read anyting else by Bank in the future. She's got an amazing gift for tone, and knowing her characters.
UGH.......2006-12-19
I loved Girl's Guide and have to agree with most of the reviewers below. I was so looking forward to another fun, interesting read and for once could not actually finish a book, unusual for me as I will stick with anything unless it's terrible. This book is just so boring, no spunk or humor; it just fell flat. I am also finding the Jewish thing to be getting a bit old and overdone in novels these days...aren't there any other ethnic groups to be written about?
Lackluster..........2006-12-06
The book, "The Wonder Spot," written by Melissa Bank was highly intriguing and had emotional depth. The storyline followed a young girl, Sophie Applebaum, as she stumbled through life and lots of boyfriends. Each boyfriend sends Sophie spinning into a new direction, away from her family, away from her comfort zone, and into "The Great Unknown." Every misstep takes her closer, in a roundabout way, to being comfortable and relaxed in her own skin.
I found this book to be a little repetitive and lackluster, basically going in loops throughout the entire story. She went from the `hardcore' guy, to the `kind, loving' guy, to the `distant' guy, and finally finishes with the `younger' guy. Sophie has a melancholy demeanor that exudes itself in all of her relationships, a shyness that emanates the most when she is unsure of her position.
I, personally, enjoy stability and character depth when I read stories. This book did not reach cover these aspects. This novel might be better suited for a relationship-based female. "The Wonder Spot" is not a "chick flick" (whereas the story would have no depth what-so-ever) but it definitely lacks profundity. At points the story seemed to drone on and on, but sometimes you couldn't put it down; which lead to an inconsistent storyline.
Even though the book lacks an intriguing storyline, it is still a book worth reading for the emotional depth covered by Melissa Bank in "The Wonder Spot."

Customer Reviews:
terrible "research".......2007-09-14
I read just one chapter: "The Dover Demon"! Loren's credulity in light of an obvious childish prank points to the problem with human nature---one of extreme gullability. Remember when an expert zoologist (Ivan T. Sanderson whom this author holds in high esteem) believed he had seen huge prints of a as-yet-undiscovered giant penguin? Who felt like the penguin then, when the hoax was uncovered and the media had a field day. Wouldn't a properly educated zoologist have questioned these findings just on account of avian evolutionary theory? Loren's book is aweful for the same reason. The gullability meter really gets stretched here; The "giant" bird that lifted up Marlon Lowe? Obviously by the description of the bird by the parents and child, with the "white-furred ring" around the "naked" neck(which obviously describes a condor or African vulture)and the "curved beak", the only interpretation is that our common culture has repeatedly used this vision of what a giant bird should look like. That this isn't obvious to the investigator who should be a little more skeptical, bodes poorly for "Fortean" studies. If Loren Coleman wanted to write a "tongue-in-cheek" guide, then I would've appreciated the sarcasm and humor in it, probably ranking the book four stars. As it stands, the book poses as a serious study of mysteries surrounding North America, most of which have already been debunked by more enlightened researchers. The fact that it was not catalogued under the "Humor" section of my local bookstore disappoints me.
A great piece of work.......2007-09-13
This is by far Loren Coleman's best that I have read. Covers a myriad of topics without skimping on the info. He doesn't just cover the common ones, either. Lesser known creatures are mentioned with a bunch of interesting information. There is more information than you could possibly want on out of place cat sightings (2 chapters) and I really enjoyed the author's wit and jokes! A really interesting and entertaining piece!
Mysterious America is great.......2007-09-03
This is a well researched book. I have always enjoyed Loren Coleman's books and articles. He did a great job of cataloging the various creature sightings across America's "flap" and "window" areas.
This book was originally published in 1983, but this edition (2007) is revised and updated. Unlike some authors, he is hands-on in that he has actually traveled to the places he writes about, investigating sightings by interviewing witnesses.
He also does a really great job of detailing the histories of these places. Overall, it is a very well-documented book and a very exciting read.
Fun pseudoscience.......2007-07-13
A reprint of an earlier edition, this book is a collection of anecdotes and tall tales, all of which have been more than adequately explained or debunked by competent, unbaised researchers. While Mr. Coleman is a credulist, his book is still an entertaining read for lovers of spooky stories!
an excellent study of anomalous experiences and encounters.......2007-07-06
This book is in many ways an important study, after all, there is no end to unusual and outright anomalous encounters, and although many books have been written on these subjects, surprisingly little is of any lasting value. Coleman's book is among those that form essential cornerstones of any library of the unknown. Where else can we read about phantom clowns and phantom felines, terror kangaroos, the Dover Demon which he not only investigated, but coined the name - and a host of other, strange and othewordly creatures? Not only that, as there are many books out there with tall tales, Coleman is meticulous in his sourcing and referencing of any aspect. Moreover, he has investigated several of these incidents himself.
Being a researcher in these fields myself, I sense the years of work, study, research and on the spot investigations went into this book, and Coleman deserves accolades for an excellent study. The book is meticulous, well written, well researched and owing to his generous mentioning of sources, traceable.
I was especially intrigued by the phantom clown scare, as around the same time the Netherlands, Europe, experienced one. Which only strenghtens Coleman's chapter on the subject, since, as he writes, law enforcement authorities and others were not even aware that the Phantom Clown scare was a nationwide phenomenon, only having the data of what happened in their cities. How then, might we ask, does the uncomfortable fact fit in that another country also experienced something of a very similar nature at the same time? How do we deal with these, sometimes, transglobal phenomena?
It shows the strength of a researcher such as Coleman that he had his eyes wide open at the right time, and that he tried to make sense of a most puzzling phenomenon. To date as far as I am aware, the chapter in his book is the only study undertaken on the Phantom Clown phenomenon. Perhaps there's a thesis or paper somewhere in an obscure folklore publication; I have not seen it.
I know, though, that while we sit safe and warm in our comfortable apartments and homes, not only in America's outlands, but also in the dark hearts of its cities, strange creatures out of time and space are born. Creatures, that momentarily glide, jump, fly, slither or float in and out our daily existences. Frightened eyewitnesses recount their tales, puzzled journalists write articles. Names are being born to in time enter the lore of the folk, names like Momo, Champ, the Jersey Devil, the Dover Demon, the Baltimore Phantom, The Ghost of Paris, the Atlanta Iceman... Researchers like Coleman try to make sense of it.
It is there, that this book may be our guide; in the shadowy zone where this reality slowly merges with what lies beyond...

The problem with 2-book deals -- big disappointment.......2007-09-27
I loved Girl's Guide, read it several times, gave it as gifts, raved about it. This is derivative, not in a good way, completely contrived, and bad chick lit. Whereas her first book was original in concept and execution, this is no different than any other chick lit novel on the discount shelf and Barnes and Noble. It reminded me of romance novels, completely interchangebale. THere is nothing original, witty, or well done here, and had she not had GIrl's GUide under her belt it would have never, ever been published. As I was reading it, I thought, Why did she bother with this? So it dawned on me that she must have been required by her publisher to write it? I'd avoid this one and pick up Center of Everything, re-read Girl's Guide, or any Jane Green novel instead.
Wonder why it didn't do better.......2007-09-24
I really liked The Wonder Spot. I found it engaging, fun, easy to relate to, and thoroughly readable. I was hooked from the word go, and found Sophie totally likable and human. Being roughly the same age as Sophie, I recalled fashions, circumstances and decades she lived through, sometimes laughing, sometimes cringing. I'm curious why this book didn't do better. I enjoyed it and couldn't put it down.
REALLY wanted to like this..........2007-09-13
I REALLY felt kinda lost reading this book!! I had to flip back
every so often, thought I had missed some pages. The story jumps
around alot. Seems like your dropped into so many story lines. She
talks about characters and I found myself thinking - Huh? Who is she
talking about now. Interesting story, just doesn't read smoothly.
I'm a bit confused with this one.......2007-08-16
It has all the makings of a great chick lit novel, like Melissa Bank's first. But something is missing in The Wonder Spot. Maybe I just didn't connect with the main character. Maybe it's because she reminded me too much of Jane, the beloved heroine of "The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing" (Bank's wonderfully written debut novel). I would highly recommend reading that one first. This one was a nice read, but didn't leave me filled with any wonderment.
