TLS to Madame D. Ergaz from Vladimir Nabokov, July 12, 1957 ., July 12, 1957
Item — Box: 1, Folder: 45
Scope and Contents
Not addressed, in French, detailing further woes involving Girodias, specifically his non-response to overtures by British publishing firms Jonathan Cape and Bodley Head (where Graham Greene is now consulting director), and extravagant demands that seem to make the American publication of Lolita by a first-class publishing house unlikely. Mention of Bodley Head's plans to publish Lolita in a limited edition in order to test the censorship waters.
