Out of print for many months 🙅🏻‍♂️, the extensive correspondence between Marcel Proust and his publisher Gaston Gallimard is once again available 🥳 @editions_gallimard in an edition edited by Pascal Fouché:

🖋️ “Following the publication of Marcel Proust’s correspondence with André Gide, Jacques Rivière and Jacques Copeau, here is his correspondence with his publisher, Gaston Gallimard.”

This is a collection of four hundred and seven letters, most of which have never before been published. This exchange of letters allows us to follow, day by day, the creation of Proust’s works right up until his death on 18 November 1922.

This correspondence sheds a fascinating light on people’s behaviour, the development of literary works and publishing practices at the turn of the century. That is why we have chosen to publish, alongside Proust’s letters to Gaston Gallimard, the twenty-five addressed to his close collaborators: Berthe Lemarié, Gustave Tronche, Jean Paulhan, and others. Similarly, all the letters sent by the N.R.F. to Marcel Proust are included in this edition. Finally, Gaston Gallimard is portrayed here going about his daily work. One senses the passion that drives him, his conviction regarding Proust’s genius, and the desire that spurs him on to serve him as best he can.”

💡 Do you know how they met? It was in the summer of 1908 in Normandy…
