-
Coming from Lolita, the vision of America in On the Road
-
looks quite different.
-
In Lolita the vision of America is minute; it's detailed; it's concrete.
-
Remember, for example, the Komfee Kabins that Nabokov gives us
-
as Lolita and Humbert tour around:
-
the painful, luminous, tiny detail of all that
-
they see on the road.
-
Think to yourself.
-
Do you see any of that kind of detail in this book?
-
I see shaking heads.
-
No.
-
We really don't.
