TLS to Madame D. Ergaz from Vladimir Nabokov, March 24, 1957 ., March 24, 1957
Item — Box: 1, Folder: 37
Scope and Contents
Written from Goldwin Smith Hall, Ithaca NY, mostly in English save for French salutations, wondering why he and E. have not pulled his books from Table Rond, which appears to be in trouble, and puzzling over the old problem of translation. Refers to Girodias' request that he reconsider his decision to avoid litigation over Lolita, and explains that he will not do so until Girodias agrees to amend their contract. Explains that two American publishers are interested in Lolita, but insist on dealing with VN directly rather than with Olympia. Announces publication of Pnin by Doubleday.
