Everyone here only seems to talk about Lolita. Why no love (hate?) for Nabokov's other works which feature their own nymphets, such as Laughter in the Dark, Ada, Enchanter, The Original of Laura..? Do they live up to Lolita, or are they far worse, or are some perhaps better?

Well Lolita is Nabokov's most famous work. Many, like myself until recently hadn't read anything else of his. That being said I'm reading Ada at the moment and it's at least as good as Lolita.
pale fire is the contrarian /lit/goer's weapon of choice
daily reminder Lolita is Nabokov 5th best book if even that
i've read five or six of his books and Lolita was definetely one of the worse ones
Pale Fire and Ada are masterpieces

Laughter in the Dark was ok for what it was, but it was cheesy and he was trying too hard to make it "cinematic" because that's what he was into when he wrote it. I don't know why anyone would bother with The Original of Laura because he never even finished even half of it.
Another anon here reading delicious Ada, or ardor. Lolita is cherry pie to Ada caspian caviar.
I prefer caviar and sweet lil sis incest.
