About the book >.>.> I saw you in the old V?l d’Hiv the bicycle stadium in Paris where with that peculiar sense of fitness and order and logic that some people had the Jews were once rounded up. If they got cold- but the French themselves called it the Winter Stadium didn’t they? Well then let them go round and round in it. And if they want to be six-day riders eating and drinking too much isn’t going to improve them either. It was going to be knocked down because the French found six-day bicycle races old-fashioned and you were tasting it for the last time; tasting that particular stink of beer and sweat the tinny music turned up to maximum the riders going round and round the banners waving for Pschitt and Pernod and all around you the hermetic mystique. You were sitting comfortably at a little metal table actually smoking a cigar enjoying yourself hearing sad cello music. Good evening Monsieur Bemelmans. T ever met you in New York? (SP)
