    [synopsis] => The Nobel Prize—winning author of Thérèse Desqueyroux shares fascinating insights through correspondence with Albert Camus, Jean Cocteau, and others.

Best known as France's great Catholic novelist, François Mauriac was also a playwright, poet, critic, journalist, and member of the Académie Française. He was an influential public intellectual who criticized the Catholic church for supporting Francisco Franco and opposed French rule in Vietnam. As a columnist for Le Figaro, Mauriac engaged in a famous dispute with Albert Camus about the course of France after its liberation from Nazi occupation.

In this collection of letters, Mauriac delves into a variety of topics-from the death of Georges Bernanos to the correspondence between Paul Claudel and Andre Gide, and the Routier youth movement-in exchanges with fellow authors, artists, and intellectuals, as well as the readers of his various articles and columns.
