Jean GENET (1910-1986). L.A.S., [to Robert... - Lot 149 - Ader
Jean GENET (1910-1986). L.A.S., [to Robert Pizani]; ¾ page in-4. Superb letter of refusal, both in style and in the provocative tone of Genet, invited to participate in the Kermesse aux étoiles of the 2nd D.B. "Your letter surprises me less than you yourself might have hoped: I am used to disorder in the minds". He specifies that it is "a former deserter who has already been condemned", that one addresses "to fill the funds of perhaps many former members of the 2nd AD". But who is really being approached? To the burglar that I was and will I have to steal the handbag of the ladies in the crowd of the tuileries? To the pederast? Will I have the right to choose a male escort of honor? If it were the writer, I would sell erotic books written in prison to you. The mistake of his correspondent is not to have guessed his little taste for military glories. He asks him to warn General Leclerc, "And you, regret the confusion which obliges you to read such an answer".
