FLAUBERT, Gustave (1821–1880). Autograph letter signed “Gve Flaubert,” [Paris] Tuesday evening [May 2, 1876, to Ivan TOURGUENIEV]; 1 page, in-8 (water stains). Note: Acceptance of an invitation to dinner while writing *Les Trois Contes*. “Oh! I’m not a prude! I won’t need to be asked twice! I accept. So, see you Friday”… He regrets that Turgenev did not come on Sunday [to the “dinner for the booed authors”]: “Our winter is drawing to a close. We need to see each other more often than that! There are two or three much-hyped paintings at the Salon that exasperate me! We’ll talk about them. I think Ieokhanan (that is, St. John the Baptist) [Herodias] will come? But I have to finish my wife’s story [A Simple Heart], and I’m barely a third of the way through!”… Correspondence (Pléiade), vol. V, p. 36.
