Jean-Edern HALLIER (1936-1997, polemist and pamphleteer) / Autograph letter signed, 1 p in-4, to the critic Luc Estang : Jean-Edern Hallier thanks Luc Estang for his article in the "Figaro littéraire" on his first novel published in 1963 "Les Aventures d'une jeune Fille" - "I didn't want to let more days pass without thanking you for the nice article (in the strongest sense of the word) that you have devoted to my book. As you can imagine, I will dispute the relationship with "Marienbad"; all the more so as I consider this film to be a sort of epiphenomenon - Theatre, yes, but so that some of the greatest legends of our culture, "Tristan and Yseult", "The Divine Comedy", "Tancred and Clorinda", etc., can be replayed indefinitely, transposed and subjected to a constant critical test. What touches me the most is the allusion made to childhood, indeed the deepest meaning of the book, beyond all compositions - It is thus, I supposed, that would deny children disguised as adults, adults that we are" - [In his article of the "Figaro littéraire", Luc Estang had commented, speaking about the novel of Jean-Edern Hallier: "There is Marienbad in there"]
