Re: [SIGHTING] October 2010: French edition of "Mademoiselle"]
From

Maurice Couturier: "The new edition of Nabokov's "Mademoiselle" is only a new paperback edition of a book published for the first time in 1982. The collection of short stories entitled "Mademoiselle O" in French is the translation of "Nabokov's Dozen" I did with my wife. It includes the original French text of "Mademoiselle O" which VĂ©ra Nabokov, who revised the translation, sent me at the time. In this paperback, it is that text which is reproduced. The original publisher of the book, Julliard, chose to entitle the collection "Mademoiselle O", no doubt as a publicity stunt (in reference to "Histoire d'O"); the cover was deliberately sexy (pink and black)."
JM: The quick video presentation bearing in the end the translator's names vanished before I could adequately read who they were. It never before occurred to me to obtain Nabokov's original "Mademoiselle O" from the French edition of "Nabokov's Dozen." These are most auspicious news.
In the internet I found that

......................................................
The French paperback of Nabokov's "Feu pùle" was translated by Raymond Girard and Maurice-Edgar Coindreau (Gallimard, 1965). Will these translators work be chosen in the forthcoming Tome III of the Pleiade collection? I'm still enchanted by its felicitous "lien dédalien" (Vers 812).
Thank you,
