Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Autograph document signed by Albert Camus: “J'en suis bien content, du moins”
N. d. [1944], 21 x 26,7 cm, loose leaf
An autograph document signed by Albert Camus, one leaf in black ink.
Albert Camus, questioned on his work by Henri Corbière, writes three answers that are as concise as they are intriguing, revealing his sharp quick-wittedness.
Suspicious of attempts to intrude into his life, whether it be private or literary, Camus points out ironies to cause a detour and avoid answering questions, one of the author's stylistic traits: “Vos débuts littéraires furent-ils heureux ou difficiles ? J'en suis bien content, du moins,” “Were your literary beginnings happy or difficult? I am, at least, satisfied with it.”
Beneath the brief responses, the inextricable link that unites journalism and literature within Camus' writing stands out, contesting the validity of the distinction established by his interlocutor. “Des moyens d'existence [...] vous permirent-ils de vous faire un nom dans les lettres ou ne vécûtes-vous que de votre plume ? Je suis journaliste de métier,” “Did the livelihoods [...] allow you to make a name for yourself in the letters or did you only make a living from your pen? I am a journalist by trade.” Already the author of two literary masterpieces, L'étranger and Le Mythe de Sisyphe, Camus remains cautious when it comes to his posterity “J'ai publié trop peu de livres pour répondre à cette question,” “I have published too few books to answer that question.” Protecting the background of his work, Camus remains faithful to his own formula: “Il n'est pas de vraie création sans secret,” “There is no true creation without a secret” (Le Mythe de Sisyphe).
