The Texture of Love

The Texture of Love

On the 50th anniversary of Nabokovâ€™s Lolita, Howard Reiss decides to reverse the story. In the Texture of Love, Molly, a young woman graduating college shows up at the door of Eric, a 65-year old family friend and recent widower. Her obsession, perhaps more acceptable by societyâ€™s standard than Humbertâ€™s in Lolita, still manages to take hold of their lives . . . confirming again the painstaking and pain-giving selfishness of certain kinds of passion.
