Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is one of the most beloved and notorious
novels of all time. And yet, very few of its readers know that the
subject of the novel was inspired by a real-life case: the 1948
abduction of eleven-year-old Sally Horner. Weaving together
suspenseful crime narrative, cultural and social history, and
literary investigation, The Real Lolita restores Sally Horner to
her rightful place in the lore of the novel's creation. Drawing
upon extensive investigations, legal documents, public records, and
interviews with remaining relatives, Sarah Weinman casts a new
light on the dark inspiration for a modern classic.
