TL to Mr. M. Girodias from Vladimir Nabokov, April 17, 1957 ., April 17, 1957

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 39

Scope and Contents

Written from Goldwin Smith Hall, Ithaca NY, in English, expressing amazement that Girodias is negotiating Lolita with an American publisher, and insisting on Doubleday's right to take or reject Lolita. Hopes that L'affaire Lolita has not been held up by customs, as he has not yet received yet, and concludes by asserting that rather than VN having been the one not to answer G.'s letter of March 12, it is G. who is guilty of not answering.
