MOREAU (Marcel). — Orgambide. Scenes from a Life Gone Astray. Frontispiece by Charlotte M. Les Éditions Lettres Vives, “Entre 4 Yeux” series, November 2002. In-8° (approx. 22 × 15 cm), paperback with illustrated cover and flaps. 180 pp. Color frontispiece by Charlotte M., *Delirium vita*, 2002. ISBN 2-914577-12-5. This 2002 edition is correctly listed as having 180 pages. A new edition of *Orgambide*, originally published in 1980 by Luneau Ascot. The book holds a notable place in Marcel Moreau’s body of work: he won the City of Mons Prize in 1983 for *Orgambide*. This copy holds particular bibliophilic interest thanks to a handwritten dedication by Marcel Moreau, signed in ink on the half-title page: “This book, for a connoisseur, is a feast. For … Marcel Moreau” The edition features a frontispiece with a color reproduction of a composition by Charlotte M. Lettres Vives rightly includes Marcel Moreau among the authors in its Entre 4 Yeux collection, dedicated to prose and poetic prose. Condition: a fine copy. The cover is slightly scuffed and soiled, with a few minor signs of wear; the interior is fresh. A precious copy enhanced by an autographed dedication from the author.
