Signed autograph to Madame D. Ergaz from Vladimir Nabokov, May 9, 1964 ., May 9, 1964
Item — Box: 2, Folder: 45
Scope and Contents
Written on Palace Hôtel letterhead, Montreux, in French, complaining of possible defamation. Has read in the Italian journal L'europeo words attributed to Gallimard: (roughly) "VN, a capable writer who has yet brought nothing original to literature." Would like Ergaz to find out if Gallimard did in fact say this, and proposes a course of action either way.
