JOUHANDEAU Marcel (1888-1979) - Lot 103
JOUHANDEAU Marcel (1888-1979) L.A.S. "Marcel", October 15, 1947, to Jean COCTEAU; 4 pages in-8 in purple ink. Nice free letter to Jean Cocteau, about The Difficulty of Being. "My little Jean, forgive me, I'm late. The difficulty of being everywhere at once, in the oven, in the mill, combined with the difficulty of being at all, no matter how early you get up, you go to bed late. How can I meet a glazier without thinking about you, but the one I saw on Malakoff Avenue yesterday morning[...], you drew it. The wingspan to be stirred from bottom to top of the inquisition and the pants and eyelids. Sitting, why was he sitting on a bench with that big pink hand balancing between his legs. Striking into oneself. You will no longer be able to see a grocery store without thinking of your Marcel, whose innocence in this case is to be framed in lace paper and turlutu. These kids are nice. I tell them about Berkeley, between a mustard pot and a basket of pickles, under the eyes of a big mother who opens on me, when I announce myself from afar, like two carriage doors. In front of many distinguished people, you think? of the table of our international Florence[GOULD], Jean PAULHAN praised your book. Only he rented it for something I didn't see there. This is what makes the works interesting. They do not hide the same things from everyone (worthwhile books). Yours makes the soul bandage at every turn of the pages. Let's get in touch and see you soon"... We attach another L.A.S. "M.",[1939, to Jean COCTEAU]; 1 page in-8 in purple ink:"Basically, it's true you're right, this book by Sachs[Maurice SACHS, Au temps du boeuf sur le toit], it's perhaps a little better than the memoirs of Poiret or Cécile Sorel, but it's the same order. The burning straw makes high flames for a moment"...
