Lolita is 50
Date: 9/27/2005
The Oregon Mail Tribune is running a AP article on Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel Lolita. The book has sold 50 million copies and publisher Vintage Books has already sold all 50,000 copies of a new, special 50th anniversary edition it released this month. "Lolita" and "nymphet" another word Nabokov coined have worked their way into the lexicon. Two movie versions, first by Stanley Kubrick in 1962 starring James Mason and later by Adrian Lyne in 1997 starring Jeremy Irons, have coaxed millions into theaters. Iranian author Azar Nifisi penned her own contemporary best seller, "Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books," inspired in part by Nabokov, and the "Gothic Lolita" is all the rage among teenage fans of Japanese anime.
