The Boni Salon: "In Conversation with biographer Jean Findlay: Exploring the Life of Proust’s English Translator, C. K. Scott Moncrieff."
How did Albert Boni, the owner of the Washington Square Bookshop in 1913, become the first to publish Proust’s ‘homosexual’ volume, “Cities of the Plain?”
Due to England's obscenity laws, the English publishing house of Chatto & Windus was unable to print Proust's translation of "Sodom and Gomorrah."
Albert and Charles Boni Publishers, New York, published C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s first English translation of "Cities of the Plain," in 1927.
