SARTRE Jean-Paul (1905-1980) AND CAU Jean (1925-1993).
2 L.A.S.: "Cau" to Sartre, and "JPSartre" to Cau, [1951]| 2 pages and 1 page and a quarter in-4.
Conflict between Sartre and his secretary during rehearsals for the play Le Diable et le Bon Dieu.
[Le Diable et le Bon Dieu premiered at the Théâtre Antoine on June 7, 1951, directed by Louis JOUVET. The relationship between
Jouvet and Sartre, via Jean Cau, were extremely tense, not least because of the cuts requested by the director and refused by the author, as Jean Cau vividly recounts in his Croquis de mémoire].
Jean CAU wrote to Sartre: "It's the first time in 5 years that you've treated me like a boss treats a subordinate. I didn't like it. What I could, in a pinch, put up with from a real boss - since you have to earn your living even at the cost of burning humiliation - I won't put up with from a guy for whom I have admiration, devotion and, above all, friendship".
The altercation occurred as Cau was about to show Sartre the cuts Jouvet had requested in the first pictures: "I was going to tell you, so that your refusal would carry more weight: Tell
Jouvet that, if you refuse these cuts, it is after reflection and not without examining them. That's when, for the first time, I saw you treat someone like shit. Because of those irritating cuts? But that's not my fault. I was telling you what Jouvet said [...] Ah, if I'd come in and said: Jouvet is a jerk, he wants cuts, that jerk, then, without asking me for further explanations, you would have said: Jouvet is a jerk"... And Cau sends back the checks he was supposed to receive.
SARTRE replies: "I deeply regret my outburst and apologize for it. Having said that, you make a lot of fuss and if you found in this incoherent outburst a reason to be humiliated, it's because you put it there. [...] Do you know that there are people ten times less likely than you that you offend every day on the phone? What am I blaming you for? Absolutely nothing, apart from the fact that you're becoming important and I don't like importance, apart from the fact that you're taking it easy on me and in short, that you're starting to treat me like an object and I don't like being an object. [...] The fact that you've been humiliated in an affair that should humiliate no one but me, proves that you need to be careful: you're on the way to becoming important"...
