Two Cities correspondence, manuscripts, and proofs
Overview
Two Cities was a literary magazine published in Paris from 1959 to 1964, printing French and English material of interest to the Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, and Lawrence Durrell circles. The magazine was founded by Anaïs Nin and Jean Fanchette, who also served as editor. This collection consists of all its extant archives, including proofs, accepted and rejected manuscripts, correspondence with authors and financial records. It is roughly sorted into the original order of the files, which had become somewhat disordered in packing. A large subsection is devoted to letters and typescripts by Anaïs Nin.
