Correspondence between Olympia Press, the Bureau Littéraire D. Clairouin, and Vladimir Nabokov, March 20, 1957 to May 17, 1957 ., March 20, 1957, May 17, 1957

9 items (2 TLS and 1 signed autograph from Girodias, 5 TL from various parties). Regarding the French translation of Lolita as well as some financial matters. Three letters from G. to VN (probably copies sent to Clairouin) discussing the status of negotiations with American publishers, and finally breaking off communication. G. asks whether VN would consider accepting reduced royalties (4.11.57), and explains his wish to search out a "firm of secondary importance" with whom to publish a joint edition (5.6.57). Stresses that VN has nothing to fear from G (5.6.57) but finally writes to Ergaz in exasperation that he must cut short such a "sterile" dialogue" (5.17.57).
