This introduction also records the conversation between Appel and Nabokov himself, from which we can get a glimpse of the writer's writing motivation, theme, purpose, etc. In addition, anecdotes of film adaptations, the hobby of catching butterflies, long-term and passionate devotion, and various stubborn reading interests are also involved. The introduction records that Nabokov is both concerned about serious propositions and obsessed with trivial things. This contradictory expression obviously also remains in "Lolita".

Its style ranges between private diaries, novels, emotional experiences, autobiographical novels and essays. The five chapters are like five books with different genres. Literary critic Rosario Girondo and his son Montano both suffered from literary disease, but the symptoms were exactly the opposite: Montano encountered writer's block, could no longer write anything, and frantically wanted to return to literature; Rosario fell into a morbid fanaticism for books, and he felt breathless and just wanted to forget literature completely. Both of their illnesses stem from the excessive presence of literature in their lives, which their father calls "Montano's literary disease." In order to save himself, Rosario embarked on a Quixotic spiritual journey, traveling to Nantes, France, Valparaiso, Chile, and the Azores Islands in the North Atlantic. However, as the trip came to an end, his literary disease became more serious.
