 Item — Box: 6, Folder: 8

Scope and Contents

6 TLS, in French with some English, asking after the proofs for The Gift and agreeing to the prepublication of a chapter of The Gift in The Paris Review, wondering why VN's works sell terribly in France, and why Gallimard and Grasset don't do more to advertise these books, and announcing the publication of a Russian translation of Lolita in the US. Véra notes that her husband has not yet received answers to letters written to Girard and Gallimard. She explains that VN is "touchy" on this subject, believing that "all his letters should receive answers" (10.3.67).
