Correspondence from Clairouin, October 2, 1957 to November 13, 1957 ., October 2, 1957, November 13, 1957
Item — Box: 7, Folder: 15
Scope and Contents
10 TL, to VN (5) and VéN (5), in French. Expresses first confusion over discrepancies between VN and G.'s accounts of their dispute, and then anger over G.'s behaviour. Ergaz consoles herself with the thought that there was no other publisher willing to launch Lolita, and advises against attempting to announce the contract with Olympia ruptured, as Olympia has gained a great deal of sympathy with the literary community. Discusses foreign contracts for Lolita as well as the contracts with Gallimard for Conclusive Evidence and Pnin (which will be translated by Chrestien).
