Editing Romain Gary (section)

=== As Émile Ajar ===
In a memoir published in 1981, Paul Pavlowitch claimed that Gary also produced several works under the pseudonym Émile Ajar. Gary recruited Pavlowitch – his cousin's son – to portray Ajar in public appearances, allowing Gary to remain unknown as the true producer of the Ajar works, and thus enabling him to win the 1975 Goncourt Prize (a second win in violation of the prize's rules).<ref name=NYT1981>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/07/02/books/gary-won-75-goncourt-under-pseudonym-ajar.html|title=Gary won '75 Goncourt under Pseudonym 'Ajar'|date=2 July 1981|work=The New York Times|first=Frank J.|last=Prial}}</ref>
