Autograph letter signed by Jacques Chardonne, addressed to the writer Marcelle Tinayre, dated November 18, 1938, with the letterhead La Frette (Seine-et-Oise). Very interesting literary correspondence in which Chardonne asks Marcelle Tinayre to support a book being considered for the Prix Femina. He also mentions other novels and gives his personal opinion, in a context typical of recommendations and influence within the literary juries of the period. Authentic document illustrating the networks and practices of the French literary world before the war. Medium: 2 handwritten pages (front and back / double sheet).

Condition: generally good condition, usual folds, slight age-related wear (see photos). Request for reading and support of a novel for the Prix Femina, mention of the author's circumstances, and Chardonne's personal preference for another work. Correspondence between two figures from the literary world. Precise historical context (Prix Femina).
