"This morning, at the National Committee of Writers - or more precisely, before the meeting - I spoke about you to a few of my friends who were presiding over 'your case' [. But my little backstage intrigue fortunately turned out to be unnecessary: your name was not mentioned. Which would have been a foolish thing to do. But we are not far from foolishness at the moment. Finally, this did not take place.
