BATAILLE (Georges). Autograph letter signed [TO PAINTER RENE MAGRITTE]. Fontenay-le-Comte [in the Vendée department], February 13, 1961. 3 pp. in-8. While writing his latest book, Les Larmes d'Éros, Georges Bataille was staying with his friend André Costa, sub-prefect in Fontenay-le-Comte. Very ill, he died in July 1962, and his work was published posthumously in 1964 by Jean-Jacques Pauvert, in the "Bibliothèque internationale d'érotologie" edited by writer and film critic Jean-Marie Lo Duca. "My dear friend, what can I do, what must I do? My state of exhaustion is such that I don't know what to say to you, except that the obvious is there for me, I don't know what to say to you. Except this: if, instead of writing to you, I could talk to you, it seems to me that you would do what was necessary to send Jean-Marie Lo Duca... what would be needed to REPRODUCE "LE CARNAVAL DU SAGE" IN COLOR. I've never been so far from laughter, and IF I HAVE THE IDEA OF INTEGRATING "OLYMPIA" INTO MY BOOK, INTO THIS BOOK WHICH I CALL "LES LARMES D'ÉROS", IT'S BECAUSE IT LOOKS WONDERFUL TO ME. But the book itself, as I write it, leaves me in a state that is less marvellous than sick. I can't believe for a moment that you won't answer me in such a way as to put an end to any misunderstanding... I CONFESS, THE WORD SAUGRENU, WHICH IN MY LETTER MEANT EROTIC, WAS OBVIOUSLY CLUMSY, SINCE IT OFFENDED YOU. But I can't believe that this clumsiness continues to make you think that I see in your paintings the slightest trace of fun. I simply had to tell you: I'd hate the word "saugrenu" if it had the meaning you give it. But it's true that my book is about eroticism. (If I continue to have so much trouble writing it, I don't know when it will come out!) Believe in my faithful affection... " ATTACHED: COPPEE (François).
