Simone de BEAUVOIR Autographed letter signed what makes a writer

  

Autographed letter signed by Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986). One large page, quarto size. (Archive mark in red pen in the upper right corner). A lovely letter of literary sisterhood where Simone de Beauvoir reveals her conception of what makes "a writer": having a voice of one's own, "passionate," "violent," and "rich"... This is essential for a writer.

This great letter is offered framed in black with a mat (removable upon simple request). A print on photo paper (Polaroid format) of a well-known portrait of Simone de Beauvoir by Pierre Boulat is included. Size: 30 x 21 cm. With frame: 42 x 32 cm. I am very touched by your letter and by the trust you have shown me. I found your text very remarkable. You have a voice of your own, passionate, violent, rich, and that is essential for a writer. Send me everything you have written, and I can then give you some advice.

Below is the famous portrait of Simone de Beauvoir in 1954 by Pierre Boulat.
