Summary
In this November 2018 email chain, Elisa New (Powell M. Cabot Professor of American Literature at Harvard) exchanges messages with Jeffrey Epstein about editing an invitation draft. Epstein requests revisions to the invitation language and asks New to count her use of first-person pronouns. The thread includes New's mention of reading Lolita before a trip to Australia, her recommendation of My Antonia by Cather, and references to Epstein's assistance with someone named Serena and a "bootleg" episode project.

Fingers crossed.I'm going upstairs to hunt for my copy of Lolita, or will get on my kindle and reread on our way toAustralia. I may have lent it to one of my kids. I would recommend reading My Antonia by Cather nexttime you're on a long plane trip. The prose is gorgeous, and the book has-- come to think of it-- similarthemes to Lolita in that it's about a man whose whole life is stamped forever by his impression of a younggirl.Thank you for this help with Serena. I'm so sorry about what happened with WA. I will keep the "bootleg"episode and hope to release someday. It's so good, and he was so kind to read the poem with me and youwere so kind to make it happen.LisaElisa NewPowell M.
