Jean de Beer on Montherlant

Since my last post, I read an issue of the Utne Reader.

I have also read de Beer's eponymous book on Montherlant. It's a fascinating experiment, where the publishers commissioned both a book on Montherlant, and then asked Montherlant himself to engage in a dialogue with the author examining his life. It was doomed from the start, of course, the French intellectual community is not so large, and anyway the dialogue was part of the objective of the series. But it was interesting to see de Beer at the top of the page, and Montherlant opining on his own life or work at the bottom. I couldn't have done it, myself.
