TLS to Madame D. Ergaz from Vladimir Nabokov, May 17, 1957 ., May 17, 1957

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 44

Scope and Contents

Writing from Goldwin Smith Hall, Ithaca NY, in French, VN is amazed to hear from Gallimard that they have signed a contract with Kahane to do the translation of Lolita. He cannot believe that Ergaz should not have attended to VN's refusal to consider Kahane, cites a letter from E. signalling her acceptance of such a refusal, and concludes that the contract with Kahane exists only in the imagination of Michel Mohrt.
