[AYMÉ Marcel (1902-1967)]. PAULHAN Jean (1884-1968) écrivain français
Set of 9 L.A.S. 1) L.A.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, (s.l.n.d.) June 17, 1 p. in-8. Headed paper of La Nouvelle Revue Française. Marcel Aymé thanks Paulhan for a promise made earlier. He mentions under cover Traveling published in serial form in the journal Je suis partout and probably Les Contes du chat perché. "Thank you for your promise. What will the nrf give you in exchange? You would be kind enough to fix it yourself (for example, at a little more than I am everywhere would have given you for the same tale)..." in postscript he asks her not to forget the galoshes for Daniel Hirsch. Louis-Daniel Hirsch, commercial director of the Gallimard editions and who created many collections (collection Blanche. Gallimard jeunesse). 2) L.A.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, Paris "5 r. des Arènes (V) métro Jussieu" (s.d.) "Le 21.6, I p. in-8. Jean Paulhan tries to reassure Marcel Aymé: "Your letter would upset me if I did not keep some vague hope. Don't you think that your political role may have gone unnoticed? That the purely literary brilliance of your tales must have concealed it... In any case, let us hasten to meet..." 3) L.A.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, (s.l.n.d.) August 1, 3p. in-8. Headed paper of the Nouvelle Revue Française. Magnificent and interesting letter on La Vouivre I have just finished La Vouivre, and I am still amazed. Ah, you made me spend three violent hours... I was transported... the end leaves me a little colder... but I do not get rid of the impression that your central subject is not worth your characters, nor your village. While reading you, I sometimes thought of Shakespeare, of Daudet, of Bernanos... the only pages that made me impatient, in the novel, were the statements and memories of the Vouivre... but it picked up. It ended up making a lot of sense...I'm still overwhelmed thinking about it"... 4) L.A.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, (s.l.n.d.) "Tuesday". 1 p. in-12. Very interesting letter where Jean Paulhan gives his opinion on a work of Marcel Aymé, he then evokes the post-war period and the possible resumption of the NRF... I think I was wrong. Excuse me, my friend. After all, I don't see what other ending there is... the closed book is remembered rather this and that than the whole book... What will be the post-war period? (Which has been moving along quite fast for a few days) I don't know, but if someone proposed to me to take over the nrf... I would prefer to work quietly on my Fleurs de T. (Tarbes) volume II) I could count on you, couldn't I?"... 5) L.A.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, (s.l.n.d.) "Wednesday", 1 p. in-8. Headed paper of the Nouvelle Revue Française. "Yes, I am afraid we must expect a few months of terror. Let's wait. After all, the nrf is not in a hurry, it has eternity for it, like the Vouivre. But I wouldn't want it to appear again without you..." 6) L.A.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, (sl.n.d.) "The 19th [1956]." 2 p. in-8. Letterhead of the Nouvelle Revue Française. "Ah, I also remember that time when I was alone to defend you. Well, everything has changed, it is me who would sometimes need your support.... (Why don't you give us your novel? It would be a way of trying out the current version and we would accompany it with a study on you by Nimier. Finally we would show how much we love you...) He announces the death of the poet Muselli who died without ceasing to smile 7) L.A.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, (s.l.n.d.) Dimanche", 1 p. in-12 numbered. Amusing letter where Jean Paulhan evokes the attitude of the concierge of the NRF and the fact that he was "deprived of the maxibules", he proposes him a game of bowls and a lunch. 8) L.A.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, (s.l.n.d.) "Samedi", 1 p. in-8. Letterhead of the Nouvelle Revue Française. Letter written during the occupation, where he evokes the Vouivre. 9) LA.S. addressed to Marcel Aymé, (s.l.n.d.) "Thursday", 1 p. in-8. Headed paper of the Nouvelle Revue Française. Paulhan gives him some news and proposes a meeting. Correspondence with a CBC
