Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Now as regards the 'N.R.F'., am I unjust? All I know is that under Copeau, I panted monthly for the 'N.R.F'. Under Rivière, I pass a fortnight before opening it. The foremost is fundamental and unanswerable literary criticism! Yes, I had read 'Clodomir l’assassin'. It was marvellous. Inspired by your letter, I searched out the Numbers containing it and read it again. . .
