Scope and Content Note

5 examples of his work, as described by Guerard: "In 1) and 2) [items in folders 13, 14] I was recasting in fiction a real event, and my focus is on the effect of a glamorous actress on a young boy. In 3) [item in folder 15] I discuss the ways in which the real event took various forms in my fiction. 4) [item in folder 16] reflects research to find out what, behind my fantasizing, was the real non-fiction life of Lya de Putti, and turns to the surviving daughters who, as children, were led to believe their mother was dead when in fact she was in Berlin, then Hollywood as a famous actress."
