This is a really beautifully written paragraph, "That mist is a mountain- and that mountain must be conquered. Up a trackless slope climbs the master artist, and at the top, on a windy ridge, whom do you think he meets? The panting and happy reader, and there they spontaneously embrace and are linked forever if the book lasts forever.", and although I have not read Lolita, I am looking forward to it because I have seen the movie, the earlier one not that one we are supposed to watch. I am looking forward to reading it because based on this paragraph alone, I think he is a brilliant writer and I have no doubt that Lolita will be beautiful but the movie was kind of disturbing. I am anxious to see how well the movie reflects and takes from the book. Typically, moves are never better than books, I know that and am not arguing that. I’m just trying to make the connection between this beautiful paragraph above being written by the same guy who wrote the book of this move that disturbed me and what I expect will be some disturbing material in the book Lolita.
