Darling River

A many-layered novel in dialogue with Nabokov's Lolita. Night after night Lo rides with her father in an ageing Jaguar; while he buys sex, she is preyed upon by men down by the river. Other lives shimmer around hers: Dolores Haze heading north, an ape held in the Jardin des Plantes whom a researcher coaxes into making a charcoal drawing, and a mother strolling along a Soviet shore with a camera.
