A remarkable letter from Nabokov to his literary agent, Doussia Ergaz, (at the Bureau Litteraire Clairouin in Paris), in which he wonders, if you might not have some news for me regarding six of his books. DESPAIR (La Meprise)- There was some talk of a reprint, as I recall. Whats become of that?/ SHORT STORIES (Nouvelles)- Have you tried to get them translated by Karl Priel? Have you managed to get them publishedeither in a magazine or book form?/ INVITATION TO A BEHEADING (Invitation au Supplice)- Where do we stand with this book? Who have you tried since Albin Michel turned it down/ NIOCOLAI GOGOL- Whats going on with this one?/ THE DEFENSE (La Course du Fou)- Didnt you write that there was talk of a new edition? I may be wrong about thatits been so long since you last wrote me about it and GLORY (Exploit)- I dont know if youre still handling this book as well. Id like to put some order in my affairs and I would be extremely grateful to you if you would bring me up to date in regard to the French rights of all these books. Also, tell me if you think it likely that youll be able to find French publishers for them. Signed, I hope you are well, Vladimir Nabokov.
