One place to look for Lolita's publishing history is in Sally Dennison,
*Alternative Literary Publishing*, 1984: Univ of Iowa Press. There's also
some interesting documentary stuff in the *Dictionary of Literary Biography
Documentary Series.* Karlinsky discusses the banning of *Lolita* in *The
Nabokov-Wilson Letters*, 1979: Harper and Row. Also Brian Boyd's *VN: The
American Years* chapters 14 and 16. *Lolita* was never banned in the US.
