Dear List,
I am reading Nabokov's Afterword to Lolita and I was interested in finding out who the identity of the "wary old friend F.P." that Nabokov mentions in his authorial postface.
Thank you
Oana Zayic


There doesn't seem to be an "F. P." (as a set of initials) in the indices to either Boyd or the letters.  Appell doesn't gloss it either. F. P. , however, is an abbreviation for "Freedom of the Press," according to an index of abbreviations.
