He speaks emotionally of the “sudden silence” that followed the loss of the Nobel Prize winner and conveys the thanks of the entire family, explicitly mentioning his mother (Jeanne Mauriac).

“I was deeply moved, dear Thierry Maulnier, by this very beautiful article. Added to our grief is the sadness of this sudden silence, which you so magnificently understood.

On behalf of all the Mauriacs, very moved (my mother will surely write to you), I warmly shake your hand.”
