French novelist most famous for the novel À rebours (Against the Grain or Against Nature). ALS in French, one page both sides, 4.5 x 3.5, April 14, 1895. Letter to Francois Copee praising his work. In full (translated): “I thank you for your ‘straight talk’ which I've just read, or rather reread since I saw isolated fragments in le Journal.
Seen as a group they provide an interesting note on what goes on inside one's head, depending on what day it is, truly very elevated and right in the masterful pages concerning Leconte de L’Isle and also really gay and amusing in the interview of the young American. Personally, the one that I find even more seductive is la Place Saint Sulpice. In it you bring to life again the past that I knew, as a faithful inhabitant of the Left Bank, like you.” In fine condition, with small pencil notation to bottom edge.
