I'm much closer to division number 1 of your book [Louis Merlin had just published "France ton passé f.. le camp et ton avenir aussi"].Il y a longtemps - depuis 1932, puis depuis 1940 - que je désespère de mes compatriotes contemporains.Le Carnetde moi que vous avez bien voulu citer est le dernier ouvrage où je ferai allusion à eux.Mes prochains ouvrages seront seulement des oeuvres de fiction".
