Jean Cocteau. L.A.S. at Bolette Natanson. Villefranche sur mer, September 1924. 1 p. in-4. Cocteau, bitter, castigates France and evokes Radiguet, Auric and Hugo. "To write no more means absolute laziness of the pen, and I will not write again, as in the tale, until the day "when the public wakes up". French ingratitude disgusts me. I spent lavishly on a dancer. I'm sorry. France is a deaf and cruel dancer who spends what she is given with others. These others make our lives impossible []". An article that morning on Radiguet le révolte "I can't imagine such things possible. They always amaze me. He then mentions Georges, Maggy, Hugo and Bertier and adds "The nights, the waking, the naps, the meals are atrocious []".
