Description
CAHUN (Claude). *Les Paris sont ouverts*. Paris: José Corti, 1934. 8vo booklet, stapled. First edition.
A long autograph letter signed by the author to André Gide, dated 6 July 1934 in Paris (1 page in blue ink): To André Gide, who wrote: ‘... But those who read me today and over whom I may exert (even unwittingly) some influence, and whom I may thus draw back towards you – will no longer even listen to me from the day they learn that I think and write on command.” / and of whom Aragon writes: “Does he really suspect that this Nietzsche, for whom he had a genuine passion, and to whom Hitler’s fascism would soon lay claim, is precisely because of this possibility within him that he is compelled to close the books, murmuring: ‘Impossible’.” However… “Every time I return to Nietzsche, it seems to me that there is nothing left to say…”
Author’s annotation in blue pen on p. 26.
Cover slightly scuffed.
