In 1989, Pascal Fouché published an edition of the correspondence between Marcel Proust 🤵🏻♂️ and Gaston Gallimard 🕵🏻♂️. However, following the death of Bernard de Fallois, numerous papers relating to Proust were discovered, notably the manuscript known as the ‘Seventy-five pages’ and a large number of letters that had belonged to Suzy Mante-Proust, the author’s niece. 👧🏻
@editions_gallimard thus completes the correspondence between Proust and… Gallimard by publishing these “Rediscovered Letters”, in an edition compiled by Pascal Fouché himself.
On this 11 November, as we commemorate the 1918 Armistice 🕊️, these affectionate letters between Proust, Gallimard, Tronche and Lemarié (who stood in for Gaston Gallimard when he was away) help us to understand, for example, how the editorial strategy was developed that led to Proust being awarded the @academiegoncourt prize on 10 December 1919. In a letter dated late June 1919, Proust lists several names of newspaper editors 🗞️ and critics to whom he suggests Gallimard should send a press copy: Paul Souday for “Le Temps”, Léon Blum for “L’Humanité”, Robert Dreyfus for “Le Figaro” and Colette for “Le Matin”. 🤵🏻♂️🤵🏻
Introduced and annotated by Pascal Fouché, this beautiful 230-page volume – the same size as the 1989 edition – is an instant must-have for any Proustian library! ⭐️
💡 Further previously unpublished letters have been published in the latest issue of @nrf.larevue.
