QUENEAU Raymond.
22 L.A.S. "Queneau" or "R. Queneau", including 10 on the back of illustrated postcards, 1947-1958, to Boris VIAN| on 22 pages of various sizes, numerous nrf headings, 10 addresses (most with binder holes).
Friendly and amusing correspondence between the two pataphysicians.
[In 1962, Queneau will give a preface to L'Arrache-coeur by his friend: "Boris Vian is an educated and well-bred man, he is a graduate of Centrale, which is not nothing, but it is not everything. Boris Vian played the trumpet like no other, [...] Boris Vian wrote beautiful books, strange and pathetic"...] January 9, 1951. "Are you the brother of Francis Vian, author of a Répertoire des gigantomachies dans l'art figuré grec et romain, Paris, 1951? On the other hand, have you translated the little text by General B-? We're waiting for it"...
Aïnhoa [11 September] 1951. From the Basque Country, a few words of Basque, "a marvellous language with twelve cases, an overdeclination and, in addition to being on familiar terms, whispering"... 27 May 1952, appointment with his son Jean-Marie who "intends to ask you for a saxophone lesson"... 8 July 1953, he would like to see him: "You could come and break a seed in Neuneu"... 10 July: "At least try to phone me, Staprème"... Bidart [3 August]. We're waiting for him : " Tell me when (when you want). I hope Ursula comes too. 24 August, "liberation of Paris". He was expecting him for August 15: "But with the events"| he stays until the end of September. 26 January 1954. "Recall Algren: end of February. With my tears"... April 12. He has submitted two plans to the Society of Authors.
"The 2nd one is set in the USA, simply because Roland Petit was leaving for that principality (this was before The Diamond Cruncher).
Can you send me the name of the author and the title of the short story in the musical repertoire... [August 20]. "Vesuvius has lost its plume/ Since 1944/ What a curious hitch/ To this volcanic hearth"... (card co-signed by Janine and
Jean-Marie Q). [Cuernavaca, December 31, 1955, on the back of a map of the Fuente del Niño]: "It seems that it was the Belgians who discovered Mexico. But here, they add to it"... August 27, 1956. "There is not a cat on
Séb. and not a dog on Bottin Street. I'm going to make a little comment for a cartoon on the history of automobile locomotion. I think it is quite enjoyable and I think you will like it. Because it's a very serious film"... January 14, 1957. "I am a villain for not having sent you my greetings yet, and to Ursula even more of a villain for not having answered yours - the enigmaticity of which, moreover, has enigmaticated me"... Cortina d'Ampezzo 27th May. "You mustn't imagine that I'm having fun climbing on these papier-mâché molars. Far be it from me to have this evil passion. I am content to shiver in a house called Isba while the barely melted snow goes to feed the potholes of the non-national roads"| He evokes the project of Sainmont's review... August 9th. He stays in Paris: "It wouldn't be so bad if the buses passed more often and if there were a few more bistros open. [...] I'm going to write a little collection ± 'pataphysics for Bertelé"... December 27th. "I gave myself a little crybaby thing that has greatly reduced my activity for the last three weeks. I even went to see a doctor. The result was not long in coming: he deprived me of dessert and Beaujolais wine"... [27 March 1958].
He "had a good case of bronchitis with penicillin, etc. I'm starting to regain my memory. I am beginning to regallimize"... October 21. "1 - Thank you for your highly educational, pedigreed and substantial book. It is radical on the issue. 2 - I heard your drills with the Jacques brothers. It's about the only new thing they've done that I've enjoyed."...
Memories of holidays in Cap Ferrat, in Italy, in Saint-Tropez, appointments... Etc.
