Shortly after its first publication by The Olympia Press Lolita was subjected to censorship banned in France and seized by the French authorities together with 25 other works by the publishing company. Maurice Girodias founder of The Olympia Press and compiler of the current book vehemently opposed the ban and would eventually sue the Government and would win the lawsuit. Publishing the book as a solicitation for support Girodias included his own article "L'Affaire Lolita" a poem by Nabokov excerpts from Lolita letters and others. The title was a play-on-words and reference to "L'Affaire Miller" dubbed so by the French press some 20 years earlier and regarding the release of another banned book - Henry Miller's "The Tropic of Cancer" - published by Girodias' own father Jack Kahane.
