My Eugène
Iâm in a sensual fugue state, a state that could be taken for an absence of news from you. I pick up one of your books: voilà sensuality. Imagine how crazy I am to read that book as a series of letters addressed to meâit amuses me to think of it. I am not a conventional admirer: I am a catastrophic lover. Maybe I donât have your trust and your obduracy: a word that Iâve never written in my life and that Iâm using badly. I wonât go on. Hans Georg came to Paris for the birth of Louise Jouno, Thierryâs daughter; Bernard invited us to Apt, to the cabin, with that boy you pinched until he bled and whose leg still bears the mark of your fingers, you, the devious innocent who only wanted to take part in our games; it rained and we spent three days huddled in front of the fire and burning alcohol in little basins to warm up the miserable atmosphere by one or two degrees, plugging in and unplugging the electric blankets when they started scalding our feet. We got stuck in the mud on the esplanadeâs border, surrounded by four starving German shepherds who gnawed on the car tires. There was nothing left to do but eat honey tartines and drink romarin frais. Too cold to read or write, too cold even to think. I sawed wood as if possessed, without understanding the logic of the grain, and this new rustic activity in my life, it seemed to me, brought me closer to you. I also did something so I wouldnât forget you: pushed little Pierre against the wall and thrust my tongue between his gums and lips to show off.
As a way out of this episode, je tâembrasse, Eugènio:

(P.S. Would you like me to write you a letter full of insults to scold you for not responding to a single one of my letters?)
