Looking for Lolita Maja Herman Sekulic

"Looking for Lolita" is a trans modern novel that plays with the notion of (im)possibility of writing a novel in our digital age while telling a compelling life story of its heroine, Lola Dunavska, who is a contemporary take on Mrs. Dalloway. In our heroine's search for the archetype of Lolita in arts and in her own life, historical figures such as Nabokov and Kubrick appear as fictional characters. In the background of this novel written in various voices there is the tragedy of 9/11 intertwined with a story of love and loss. I am a transnational Serbian-American poet and author of 15 books living between New York and Belgrade. I am also a world traveler and a Ph. D. from Princeton University.
