Mademoiselle O
"Mademoiselle O" is a memoir by Vladimir Nabokov about his eccentric Swiss-French governess.
It was first written and published in French in Mesures (vol. 2, no. 2, 1936) [1] and subsequently in English (translated by Nabokov and Hilda Ward) in The Atlantic Monthly (January 1943).[2]
It was first anthologized in Nine Stories (1947) [3] and was later reproduced in Nabokov's Dozen (1958) [4] and The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov.
It became a chapter of Conclusive Evidence (1951, also titled Speak, Memory) and subsequently of Drugie Berega (1954, translated into Russian by the author) and Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited (1966).[5]
