The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and the Novel That Scandalized the World
Omschrijving
In 1948, Sally Horner was just eleven years old when she was kid-napped by a man claiming to be an FBI agent. Seven years later, Vladimir Nabokov published Lolita, perhaps the most notorious novel of the twentieth century. Sarah Weinman’s investigation into how the two are connected is a thrilling, heartbreaking mix of literary scholar-ship and true-crime writing.
