Nous deux encore

FIRST EDITION of one of Michaux's most beautiful texts, written after the death of his wife Lou [Marie-Louise], who was transformed into a living torch after approaching an electric heater while wearing a synthetic fabric dress. She died in hospital after a month of suffering and courage. The edition was published by Michaux's closest friend, Jacques Olivier Fourcade, under the publisher's name "J. Lambert [&] Cie". This bookseller-publisher had already founded his publishing house in 1929 and hired Michaux as a literary advisor, but, following the crisis, had to sell his collection in 1931. Michaux stopped the distribution and prohibited any reprinting during his lifetime.

LIMITED EDITION of 750 copies on Marais vellum, including 100 out of trade.
