Doesn't look like much visually but for me these 42 letters from #DominiqueAury in her beautiful hand (written with the same care she used on the manuscript of The Story of O that I looked at every week in Julio Santo Domingo's Library) to a prominent art writer #castorseibel are fascinating. So, I bought them for a lucky customer yesterday. Particularly liked her views on #yukiomishima , roughly translated by me and google "On Yukio Mishima: "Thank you for your letter, read with sympathy this translation for which I have so many doubts - because after all it is the translation of a translation. What true fidelity with the Japanese? I will never know. Mishima knew English well enough, and fully approved the texts he himself had sent me, asking me to translate them into French. Good. But by the biggest chance a boy who sent poems to the NRF (...) told me that the original title of 'Patriotism', which is the key to Mishima - was actually The Land of Sorrows. On the other hand, I have a letter from Mishima, eight days before his death, in which he tells me that Japan is a desert of ice and dust ... He apparently accepted the banal Patriotism. I shall always regret that splendid Land of Sorrow, which we have all known, both you and us, through our frightful wars. "(7.8.89)
