Albert Camus in the Sun
Ever since the founding of their firm, Blanche and Alfred A. Knopf have been a brilliantly successful team in the world of books. They began together in October, 1945; BLANCHE KNOPF ran the office, and through her sympathetic reading she discovered and helped to develop many of their European authors. She became vice president in 1921, and president of the firm in 1957, a unique record in publishing.
