Voiles et caravansérails : l’Orient dans Lolita by Monica Manolescu

“…Nabokov’s Oriental intertexts, which have not at all been analysed by critics, can be found in Ada as well (although this paper will only focus on Lolita).Going beyond these obvious motifs, Lolita’s Oriental paradigm can also be uncovered, more subtly, in what we could call the “spatial narrative” or “narrative of space” that Humbert invents for the nymphet’s delight when the two of them “put the geography of the United States into motion”. …”
