Correspondence from Clairouin, July 30, 1952 to August 24, 1954 ., July 30, 1952, August 24, 1954

 Item — Box: 7, Folder: 7

Scope and Contents

9 TL, in English and French, to VN (2), VéN (4), Table Rond (2), Julie Kernan (1). Mostly regarding various contractual, publication, and translation matters, especially the contract with Table Rond, and Marcelle Sibon's translation of Gogol, for which VN submits an enormous list of corrections (to what Ergaz fears will be Sibon's embarrassment). In 8.24.54, Ergaz notes that she has forgotten to address the Nabokovs' questions about the "novel that Monsieur Nabokov cannot publish in America," but is very much interested in this novel and believes she knows a firm that has published works in English outside of both England and the US.
