Comparative analysis of the literary work, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and the artistic works of Balthasar Klossowski de Rola, better known as BalthusLolita is written under form of memory in the first person by its main character, Humbert Humbert.

When he completed his work, he had difficulty getting it published. Publishers were nervous about printing a book allegedly narrated by a pedophile. Four American publishers turned it down before he was finally able to have it published by Olympia Press of Paris and in 1958 in America.
