...Kans., where he was born on Sept. 15, 1899, the only bonds uniting the latest arrival to his six older brothers, including Dwight, then almost nine, were those imposed by duty and family.

Round Table inherited his speed from his dam, an English mare with a fast past named Knight's Daughter, and his endurance from his sire, the rugged. Irish-bred Princequillo.

He searches through the mail order catalogues of Paris whoredom, through a low-comedy marriage, through Central Park-until he finally finds Annabel's reincarnation in Dolores Haze, known as Lolita. She is his culture-vulture landlady's daughter in a small New England town where Humbert has holed up to do some literary work. The girl is just a gum-chewing, Coke-filled, comic-book-educated sub-teen-ager -but she is Humbert's fatal love...
