The book covers for this novel are often designed with the film adaptations in mind, sexualising the young character 'Lolita' as a teen-aged seductress, when if fact she is an abused 12 year old. To design a cover for a book so psychologically complex is a challenge using photography or illustration - with this in mind I believe the best option would be to go for something abstract, giving nothing away to the reader but intrigue - so that they can form their own ideas and interpretations. It is described as a postmodern novel and 'tragiccomedy'.
