Correspondence between Olympia Press and the Bureau Littéraire D. Clairouin, November 20, 1957 to December 31, 1957 ., November 20, 1957, December 31, 1957
Item — Box: 3, Folder: 6
Scope and Contents
9 items (5 TLS , 4 TL and a statement) charts the escalation of the dispute between VN and G., as G. threatens to publish (in opposition to VN's express wishes) an American edition of Lolita under Olympia's imprint and in conjunction with an American firm (11.20.57), while accusing VN of acting in bad faith (both towards Ergaz and Girodias). G. tells his side of the story and describes Putnam's offer for Lolita. Ergaz expresses irritation with VN, but wonders why G. insists on threatening VN, as their interests are the same, and conciliation would seem the only solution (11.29.57).
