i looked for you. here’s her quote on it.
“There are two books whose final lines make me cry without fail, irregardless of how many times I read them, and one is Lolita. There is so much I could say about this book. There just isn’t enough time to discuss how a plot that could have been the most worthless pornography becomes, in Nabakov’s hands, a great and tragic love story, and I could exhaust my reservoir of superlatives trying to describe the quality of the writing.”
