Correspondence between Olympia Press and the Bureau Littéraire D. Clairouin, February 6, 1961 to April 24, 1961 ., February 6, 1961, April 24, 1961
Scope and Contents
14 items (5 TLS, 9 TL, including copies of 3 of the TLS). Continuing dispute over payments (especially re Rowohlt) from and to Olympia. Litigation is imminent, with mention of meetings between lawyers. Unpleasant exchange between Girodias and Ergaz over a Playboy article, of whose appearance neither Ergaz nor VN were informed (4.20.61 & 4.24.61). G. claims that he was forced to such tactics by the nature of his relationship with VN, a relationship whose regrettably negative character is altogether VN's fault (4.24.61). Reference to meeting with VN in which the latter apparently refused to acknowledge G. Includes carbon of letter G. is sending to Mr. Spectorsky (of Playboy).
