On the history of Literary Theory, different literary schools have various comments on "what is 'Reality'" while Nabokov holds "the Fictional Reality Concept" in different way, the essence of which is his pursuit of "the Symbolic Reality". In this article, the author attempts to contrast the general sense of "Reality" with Nabokov's "Fictional Reality Concept" in accord with Nabokov's remarks in this field, for the purpose of figuring out "what is 'the Fictional Reality'" and exploring the cause and the significance of this unique concept. Meanwhile, the paper also offers an overview of Nabokov's exceptional understanding of novel and his art of fictional narrating by analyzing how his "Fictional Reality" was presented in Lolita.The paper holds that Nabokov has made his own interpretation of "Reality" in the perspectives of world, work and author, which shows his pursuit of "the Symbolic Reality". It is stated in Nabokov's "Fictional Reality" that the traditional concepts of "the Life Reality" and "the Art Reality" are deconstructed and even beyond. Only language is real, and there is nothing beyond text. In other words, language is self-independent, while literature, as a form of language, is fiction.
