About This Book

Le journal rassemble des notes quotidiennes et des mémoires littéraires où l'auteur consigne dîners, conversations de salon, portraits de contemporains et querelles publiques, mêlant remarques sur la politique, la presse et les affaires artistiques. Les entrées alternent anecdotes, critiques mordantes, défenses publiques et confidences personnelles, y compris le deuil familial, et cherchent à restituer la vérité des propos entendus tout en explorant la vie intellectuelle et sociale de l'époque.
