Art, reality and the strange ways the two imitate one another are at the core of Muriel Spark`s delightful Loitering with Intent, first published in 1981. Would-be novelist Fleur Talbot works for the snooty, irascible Sir Quentin Oliver at the Autobiographical Association, whose members are all at work on their memoirs. When her employer gets his hands on Fleur`s novel-in-progress, mayhem ensues when its scenes begin coming true. Generating hilarious turns of phrase and larger-than-life characters (especially Sir Quentin`s batty mother), Spark`s inimitable style make this literary joyride thoroughly appealing.

Following a failed marriage to a `large, puffy, short-legged, big-breasted and practically brainless baba`, Humbert Humbert decides to move to America to work as a tutor. Much to his dismay, his plans change and he moves into a boarding house in Ramsdale, New Hampshire. But his disappointment quickly fades after he realises he lives next door to the `light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul Lo-li-ta.` The relationship blossoms between the man `with a cesspool of rotting monsters behind his slow boyish smile` and the sassy, vivacious young girl in Nabokov`s highly controversial take on the classic American road trip novel.
Poet and pervert, Humbert Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and seecs to possess her, first carnslly and then artistically, out of love, `to fix once for all the perilous magic of nymphets`. This seduction is one of many dimensions in Nabocov`s dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich, elaborate verbal textures.
