Georges BATAILLE (1897-1962). L.A.S., Vézelay May 8, 1946, to René de Solier; 1 1/2 pages in-4. He is to take to Paris a manuscript for a "luxury or semi-luxury publication [...] it is a text that is not scandalous but has erotic tendencies [...] It will be more or less the sequel - rather the answer - to another text in print", for which he received 50,000F. "For this Dianus, whose subtitle is (taken from the notebooks of Monsignor Alpha), I will be much less demanding"; and he intends to take up all these texts later. He adds, to excuse this business letter: "you always have to live with a bit of meat in your teeth and your hand in other people's pockets"...
