He's one of the only writers from National Review I really like. Overall, I think he hit it on the head and I agree with him that Lolita is a piece of art. I especially liked this comment (which is probably sadly true)---- "And so, while Lolita met with a fair share of disapproval in 1958, and was denounced from many pulpits, I believe its reception would have been much more hostile if it appeared now."
