MILLER (Henry), romancier américain (1891-1980) - Lot 137
MILLER (Henry), romancier américain (1891-1980) L.A.S. to Tosi, Big Sur, June 28, 1949, 1 p. in-4°, in French. Miller thanks Tosi for sending Paraz's book and informs him that Milton Hindus will soon publish a book on Celine. "I don't like these stories - it hurts me. Even though Celine seems to spit on my works, I remain faithful to him. He punishes himself...Cossery, it seems to me, may be going down the wrong path too. What can we do for these people? They need us, they need our trust, at least... I hope the clothes arrive safely. Instead of money, which I always miss, but - "you can't live on bread alone", what!... ». Joint typed reply from Tosi 19 July 1949, 1 p. in-4°: "I am a little ashamed to have to answer you in official and hasty terms, to your so human considerations. We agree with your opinion about Celine. We have to see it beyond the polemics. I saw Milton Hindus...he kindly sent us his studies on Celine. We will make the best use of them when the time comes. I am forwarding your pages on Cossery to Domat-Montchrestien Editions who published "Les Fainéants de la vallée fertile" Joint: autograph postcard signed at Tosi, Big Sur, October 10, 1949, in-12° format in French: "Ross's edition goes up to the million now - It's the most on sale of all at this time! Good for Cossery! Can you send me 5 copies of Giono's "Pour saluer Melville"? I've just read it - I think it's beautiful! ».
