Correspondence from Clairouin, February 8, 1955 to June 15, 1955 ., February 8, 1955, June 15, 1955
Item — Box: 7, Folder: 8
Scope and Contents
8 TL with telegram message, in French and English, to VN. Mostly regarding the film rights to Laughter in the Dark, and the contract with Girodias for Lolita. Ergaz, in introducing G. as a possible publisher, maintains that they need not worry about the quality of his firm's books, and mentions that Olympia has just published The Story of O. G. apparently not only thinks Lolita of immense literary value, but thinks it may help to alter society's attitude towards the "love described in Lolita" (5.13.55).
