Scope and Contents
Written from Sedona AZ, in English, dealing with various issues under headings (CHAMBRE OBSCURE, GIRODIAS etc.). Is delighted with Gallimard's presentation of Lolita, rather irritably asks whether Frs. 20.000 is the customary honorarium for a short story by "authors in my category," asserts that the afterword to Lolita is famous and ought to be paid for, and discusses a possible Portuguese translation of Lolita.
