“Neither in its tone nor its form nor its
content is your article on Les Hussards
right for Cahiers, even though it’s not-uninteresting… That’s why your joining
Cahiers poses the moral problems that you can image; I’m sure we’ll come to
trust you, but you will understand why we are wary...
“It
was so very friendly and revealed a Moullet I had not suspected, full of
humour, relaxed and realistic…. Yes, I admit it, we were a little scared of
you. First because you are as (sincerely and violently) caustic as we used to
be and there’s something shocking about this eternal recurrence at Cahiers,
this eternally recurring sarcasm, and it also seemed to us that you tended to
go too far in both directions (adulation and loathing)...
(Francois Truffaut: Correspondence, Pg.
85, 95)
