Francillon and Nadeau Papers

The sous-fonds contains records relating to Malcolm Lowry accumulated by Clarisse Francillon, Lowry’s French-language translator, and Maurice Nadeau, who published several of Lowry’s works in French translation (Nadeau published Francillon’s translations of Lowry’s works). Contents include correspondence from Malcolm Lowry to Francillon, from Margerie Lowry to Francillon and Nadeau, from Harvey Burt and Victor Doyen to Francillon and Nadeau, photographs of Malcolm Lowry and a house in Cuernavaca, Mexico, typescripts and copies of published versions of The Last Address (Lunar Caustic), a typescript of The Bravest Boat, news clippings about Lowry and his works (mostly in French), a copy of Francillon’s translation of Lunar Caustic, and a French-language translation of Malcolm Lowry’s Collected Letters as prepared by Margerie Lowry and Harvey Burt and translated by Suzanne Kim.

Rudy Wurlitzer Papers

Sous-fonds contains typed copies of approximately 100 letters from Malcolm Lowry to various friends, editors, publishers, and translators of his works. Harold Matson, Albert Erskine, and David Markson are frequently recurring addressees. The only incoming letter to Lowry (also a typed copy) is from Arthur Lowry, Malcolm Lowry’s father.

The sous-fonds also includes a typescript of a prose text of uncertain authorship which in part details Lowry’s 1949 stay at a Vancouver hospital with a broken back and ribs. Excerpts of letters are also included in the prose account.

Wurlitzer, Rudolph

Douglas Day Papers

The sous-fonds consists of four types of materials: correspondence, drafts of Day’s biography of Malcolm Lowry, research materials collected during the writing of the biography, and published materials, mostly reviews of Dark as the Grave Wherein My Friend is Laid by Malcolm Lowry, published posthumously, and co-edited by Margerie Lowry and Douglas Day. Correspondence is primarily between Day and publishers, including Oxford University Press and Harold Matson Co., the lawyer Richard G. Green, and Margerie Lowry. Drafts of Day’s biography include one typewritten, annotated draft of the first 42 pages and a handwritten draft of the first 47 pages on yellow legal pad paper. Research materials include typed reminiscences on Lowry by David Markson and James Stern, copies of letters sent to and by Lowry in 1950, and two copies of Margerie Lowry’s will, one from 1965 and one from 1966. Published materials include several reviews of Dark as the Grave, edited by Day and Margerie Lowry, a short story by Lowry published posthumously in Show, a copy of Time magazine with an article on Lowry, newspaper clippings, a few biographical articles on Lowry, and a copy of Lowry’s poem Sestina in a Cantina.
