Query: censoring Lolita (fwd)

From: Susan Mooney <kboterbloem@sympatico.ca>
I have been researching the censorship of Lolita, and know M.
Couturier's fine work, B. Boyd and Edward de Grazia
provide excellent points also on the difficult publication history of
this novel. However, I am trying to determine in greater detail the
censorious machinations of politicians and government officials in Gr.
Britain and France.
This is, thus, my problem. I have been waiting for almost 3
months for interlibrary loans to locate and bring me a copy of Girodias's
_L'affaire Lolita_, and I'm sure it will provide me with some more
information. But I am hoping to find someone who has done some actual
archival research into this matter, and it seems that thus far there is
nothing of that kind.
I have tried search engines, but the inclusion of "lolita" harvests an
awfully numerous listing of pornographic listings, so it is of little
practical use to look for this particular case in this way. I've kept
up to date with the MLA's silver platter listings -- there of course
it's quite safe and quick to make the appropriate subject searches.
