CAMUS Albert (1913-1960).
L.A.S. "Albert Camus", Le Panelier (Haute-Loire) September 6 [1942], to Raymond QUENEAU at Editions Gallimard| 1 page oblong in-12 on postcard with addresses on back.
Beautiful literary letter about Pierrot mon ami.
He thanks Queneau for his book, which he read in one sitting before happily picking it up again... "I think you're right to call your book a poem. It also brings to mind the admirable compositions of the Flemish or, closer to home, the masquerades of James Ensor. You excel in "natural fantasy": lunar characters, fairs, belluaries, monsters and fakirs, all thrown into the arrondissements of Paris. Because there's also Paris, and without it we wouldn't understand your work. I'm thinking here of Odile, which I loved very much. Is it because of Paris again? Your books, despite appearances, are not cheerful. Almost all of them are about failures. They are true, melancholy fairy tales"...
