“Lolita”.
Sir,—St. Paul wrote: “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honourable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whafsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue and if there be any praise think on these things.” “Penguin” forgets that New Zealand is not as cold as Antarctica. Although “Penguin” gets amazed about the ban and seems to neglect to realise the evil influence on young minds of this and similar books, we can be grateful that in “Lolita’s" case the censor did his duty.— Yours, etc., L. J. SCHWARTZ. November 20, 1959.
