NEWS

Camus and Sartre In an article published in Le Monde (3 Decembre 2002, p. 32), Pierre Birnbaum maintains that Camus has, once again, become a central figure in intellectual debate and quotes Samantha Novello: ‘With Camus “la pensée de la limite” implies a relative truth that is the foundation of all democracy. He then quotes Jean Daniel: ‘To- day we are witnessing the return of morality and this return is part of a Camusian destiny, that’s to say a life without God, against history and aware of the reality of evil. This has given rise to a certain uneasiness among those who, like François Noudelmann, see the glorification of Camus as a ‘way of settling old scores with Sartre and, even more with the Marxist domination of the 50s’. Noudelmann adds: ‘Most of all it is important not to push Camus into an ideological position that would make him a consensual figure of bourgeois wisdom. After all he has something of the ‘révolté’ who cannot commit himself fully to formal democracy. He remains divided, anxious and he should not serve to legitimise a certain kind of return to the moral order…’

Pascal Quignard and Sartre The thought of Pascal Quignard, who won the prix Goncourt in November 2002, appears, to a large extent, to be derived from Bataille and to be at the opposite extreme from Sartrean existentialism. He writes accordingly in Les Ombres errantes (Grasset, 2002, pp. 22–23): ‘You have to renounce the idea of liberty in order to disobey again. You have to renounce the idea of liberty in order

to emancipate yourself again. You have to detest the now […] You have to hate everything that forbids access to the unforeseen and the irreversible. You must always love the irreversible. You have to widen the gap between the event and language. You must never leave the former, the body, joy, sin, genitality, silence, shame, anecdotes, the ‘once upon a time’, the private, the incomprehensible, the incomplete, the capricious, the enigmatic’.

Sartre Tee-Shirt The site philosophy-football.co.uk is offering a whole series of tee- shirts with quotations about football. The Sartre tee-shirt bears the inscription (from la Critique de la raison dialectique, 1960, a note on p. 482): ‘In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team.’ Sartre talks at length about football in la Critique.

Cahiers d’études lévinassiennes The first number of the annual review Cahiers d’études lévinassiennes (edited by Verdier) focuses on ‘Levinas and time’. Its director is Benny Lévy, who has published a number of texts and interviews in it.

BHL in Wax On 26th February Bernard-Henri Lévy unveiled his waxwork statue at the Musée Grévin, where it stands near Sartre’s.

Le Nouvel Observateur Number 2000 Le Nouvel Observateur marked the occasion of its 2000th number on 6th March 2003. The successor to France-Observateur, the weekly was founded on 19th November 1964, with a print run of 30,000 copies, with Sartre’s support, who appears on the cover of the first number and published a long interview ‘L’Alibi’ in it. Subsequently, Sartre placed a large number of texts and interviews in it and, since his death, it has followed his work and its influence closely. Le Nouvel Observateur, with a half million copies, currently has the largest circulation of the quality weeklies.

Sartre and Libération The Parisian daily Libération is celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of its foundation in May 2003. Sartre played a crucial intellectual and financial role in its creation.

Among the details we have of Pouillon’s life (whose last years were marred by Alzheimer’s disease), it is worth noting that he was Aron’s pupil in Le Havre, even played tennis with him (at the time that his friend Jacques-Laurent Bost was a pupil of de Sartre and his boxing partner), that he was the author of a lot of editorials for Les Temps modernes, and that he was linked with both the existentialist and structuralist movements.

Michelle Vian’s Library All the books, two Sartre manuscripts and various documents belonging to Michelle Vian, were put on sale à prix marqués by two Parisian booksellers in November 2002. In 1985 Michelle Vian had bequeathed a very important collection of Sartre’s manuscripts to the BNF, where they can now be consulted. Sartre kept very few of the very large number of books that were dedicated to him and sent to him in his apartment due to a lack of space. He allowed his friends, and sometimes his visitors, to choose the volumes they wanted and disposed of those that were left. As a result, Michelle Vian, who was a great reader and treated books well, managed to get a large number of titles and moreover a good number of them were dedicated to her directly. It would be worth doing a study on Sartre’s dedications and on those he received.

A 139-page catalogue with 878 entries has been prepared by Benoît Guilbert (from the bookshop of the same name, 137, bd. du Montparnasse, 75006 Paris) and Emmanuel Lhermitte (from the Librairie Lhermitte, 157, avenue de Suffren, 75015 Paris, tél.: 01 40 65 91 11, e-mail: [email protected]). It is divided into two parts: 1. Jean-Paul Sartre 2. Friends of Sartre and others. It also includes books and so on addressed to Michelle Vian, or directly collected by her, and books given to her by Sartre. A large number of entries relate to Boris Vian. The cover of the catalogue reproduces the famous photograph of Sartre on the Pont des Arts taken by Cartier-Bresson, which has the dedication: ‘To Michelle, JP Sartre, 10th December 1963’. The items from the catalogue that are the most interesting for Sartrean research are given below. Further information will be included in the next edition of Les Ecrits de Sartre. Article ‘Venise de ma fenêtre’, published in Verve in 1953, with four marginal text corrections and two manuscript pages from the start of the text. There are considerable differences from the published text. Facsimile of notes for the preface of ‘D’une Chine à l’autre’ by Cartier-Bresson. 17 pages, 11 of which consist of notes taken for each photo, 4 of reflexions on communism comparing the American and Russian systems (Anticommunism is the hatred of everyone for everyone. [...] Anticommunism is becoming prophetic. [...], and 2 with some notes on Italy. A 17-page manuscript for ‘Les Peintures de Giacometti’.

A Japanese collection bringing together Sartre (‘Intimité’, Les Mains sales, ‘La Chambre’) and Aragon (Le Paysan de Paris), published in Tokyo (Kawadashosho Shinsha, 1962), contains Sartre and Aragon’s autographs. On the other hand, Aragon’s book, La Semaine sainte, NRF, 1958, has the following dedication: ‘To Jean-Paul Sartre, it does not harm just this once, Aragon.’ The book Chicago: City on the Make, New York: Doubleday, 1951, is dedicated, as follows, by Nelson Algren: ‘For Sartre, always a captain and nearly a general, in friendship from Algren, always a private and nearly a sergeant’. The volume is accompanied by some letters from Algren to Sartre and Boris Vian. Roland Barthes, Sade, Fourier, Loyola, Seuil, 1971, dedicated as follows: ‘To Jean-Paul Sartre, as a token of my deep and faithful attachment, Roland Barthes.’ Jean Cau, Un testament de Staline, Fasquelle, 1956, a humorous dedication: ‘To Sartre, smarmy rat , destroyer and lout without a political platform, his friend, Joseph Stalin’. Colette, Oeuvres complètes, in 15 volumes, Flammarion, 1948. The first volume is dedicated as follows: ‘For Jean-Paul Sartre, with a familiarity that is justified by my affection and admiration, Colette’. Jacques Debû-Bridel, La Résistance intellectuelle, Julliard, 1970. Dedication: ‘To J.-P. Sartre, an aspect of our battle for liberty, with warmest regards, Jacques Debû-Bridel.’ André Gide, Thésée, NRF, 1946. Dedication: ‘To J.-P. Sartre, most attentively, André Gide.’ Several entries relate to letters from Beauvoir to Sartre (p. 125) and concern Beauvoir: Alain’s volume, Entretiens au bord de la mer, NRF, 1949, includes the following handwritten inscription: ‘For Madame Simone de Beauvoir / Madame Philosopher, I will not challenge this title of yours, having read your America (for the knowledge of men and things is real philosophy). Please be indulgent towards this book of philosophy, which is perhaps a bit too philosophical, although I have put a little literature in it, too much, perhaps. Treat this book gently, it is still being broken in. It is still a little stiff. With my very warmest regards, Alain. 24th March 1949.’

Jean Genet, Haute Surveillance, NRF, 1949. Dedication: ‘To the Beaver, with the admiration I refuse to give to Sartre, because he doesn’t believe in it. I love you both deeply, Jean Genet’. Marguerite Duras, Abahn Sabana David, NRF, 1970. Dedication: ‘For Jean-Paul Sartre, fraternally, Marguerite Duras.’ The booksellers’ note (p. 77) reads as follows: ‘Marguerite Duras approached Sartre several times to see if she could get some short stories published in Les Temps Modernes in the mid-fifties. Sartre met her and told her gruffly, while making his excuses: ‘I don’t want to publish you. You write badly. But I am not the one who is saying that. You need to write better, and if you don’t, you will never be published in Les Temps Modernes.’ Marguerite Duras remained convinced that it was Simone de Beauvoir who had said that she wrote badly and she never forgot this insult’. Later, Duras criticised Sartre for not having any style. Georges Perec, Quel petit vélo à guidon chromé au fond de la cour?, Denoël, Les Lettres nouvelles, 1966. Dedication: ‘For Jean-Paul Sartre, the piece that I have wanted to propose to Les Temps modernes for a long time, but I think you would have refused, G. Perec.’ On the page opposite, Perec has drawn a little bicycle. Note from Michel Rybalka : Perec, whom I began meeting in 1967, knew Sartre’s work well and had a great deal of regard for him. In La Vie mode d’emploi, you find a child reading Les Ecrits de Sartre. Sédar-Senghor, Léopold, Anthologie de la nouvelle poésie nègre et malgache de langue française. Précédée de Orphée noir par Jean-Paul Sartre, P.U.F., 1948. Dedication on one of the twenty non-trade vellum copies: ‘To M. Jean-Paul Sartre, the writer and humanist, the great discoverer of new values through the world, to the one whose admirable preface will cause new stars to shine in the sky of negritude, in admiring and grateful homage, Sédar-Senghor, 15–9–1949.’

Departures

William Phillips, who founded The Partisan Review with Philip Rahv, died in New York on 13 September 2002. After the war, The Partisan Review played an important role in introducing the thought of Sartre, Beauvoir and Camus to the United States.

The great Chilian-born painter Roberto Matta died on 23rd November 2002, aged 92. Very involved politically, he painted ‘Les Roses sont belles’ to defend the Rosenbergs; in 1958, after reading Henri Alleg’s book on torture in Algeria, he painted ‘La Question, Djamila’; he was actively involved in the May events in 1968; and in 1973, he violently opposed Pinochet’s coup d’état. In 1967, he worked with Sartre to publish ‘Un Soleil, un Viêt-Nam’, a 24-page in-folio published by the National Vietnam Committee, reproducing an 11-page manuscript by Sartre and six lithographs by Matta (see Les Ecrits de Sartre, pp. 437–438).

Daniel Gélin died on 29th November 2002, at the age of 81. He had been one of the characters of de Saint-Germain-de-Prés in the 40s and had had a career as a great actor. Friendly with both Sartre and de Beauvoir, he took on the role of Garcin after Michel Vitold at the théâtre du Vieux-Colombier in Autumn 1944 and played Hugo in Fernand Rivers’ film of Les Mains sales (1951). He published his memoirs, 2 ou 3 Vies qui sont les miennes, in 1977.

The journalist Françoise Giroud died on 19th January 2003. One of the directors of L’Express, she published a lots of interviews with Sartre as well as a number of his articles in it until 1961. She commented on this collaboration in a piece that appeared in Les Temps modernes, octobre–décembre 1990, where she recounts that she danced the tango with Sartre at the Cannes Film festival in 1946, but also criticises certain of his political pronouncements. Further reminiscences appear in other recent works such as Profession journaliste, 2001. She painted a very negative picture of Jean Cau in Arthur ou le bonheur de vivre (1997).

– 115 – Notice Board

Maurice Blanchot died on 20th February 2003, at the age of 95. Sartre wrote an important piece on him ‘Aminadab ou du fantastique considéré comme un langage’, which appeared in Les Cahiers du Sud in 1943 and was reprinted in Situations I. Blanchot published a major study ‘Les romans de Sartre’, in L’Arche in 1945, which was reprinted in La Part du feu (1949).

Karel Kosik died on 21st February 2003. The Czech philosopher, who was persecuted in his own country, had written an open letter to Sartre asking for help, and Sartre had assured him of his support. The affair created a certain stir at the time. See Le Monde, 29–30 juin 1975, and Telos, no. 25, Fall 1975, pp. 193–195.

The American writer Howard Fast, who died on 12th March 2003, had met Sartre in the 1950s. A member of the Communist Party until 1957 and a victim of McCarthyism, he was author, inter alia, of Spartacus (adapted for film by Stanley Kubrick). He refers to Sartre several times in his works. In The Daily Worker on 10th April 1956, he praised ‘the clarity, sanity, and precision of meaning that appeared in Sartre’s work’. See the death notice in Le Monde, 15 mars 2003, p. 32.

Available on the Internet. [Sartre and Beauvoir stayed in Lithuania from 28 July to 3 August 1965, with Lena Zonina as interpreter and Antanas Sutkus as their local photographer. They surprised their guests by their modest, natural demeanour. They stayed in Thomas’ Mann’s house at Nida, on the coast of Courlande. It is there that A. Suktus took the famous photo of Sartre leaning on a dune. At the time, Sluckis noted this remark of Sartre: ‘[It is] most improbable that the Creator is the cause of Nida’s beauty. He didn’t have enough imagination. In our imperfect world, if beauty exists, it is surely the work of the devil; but, in their ignorance, human beings worship the Most High’. Sartre and Beauvoir held a public meeting with questions and answers on 29th July at Vilnius.]

In another of his works (Une vie en littérature. Conversations avec Jacques Sojcher, Bruxelles: Ed.

I never felt myself equal to those privileged minds … to those aristocrats of lifestyle. Being a Trotskyite already isolates you, you feel as if you’re on the margins’.
