It was the fourth book from the collection 'The Forty: MEMORIES AND SECRETS OF A WRITER.' "Page 128: 'In THE PALS what part of the book is autobiographical and contains actual events' "Page 129: 'It is not impossible to find a resemblance between the cheeks and glasses of Huchon with those of Duhamel just as it is not impossible to find a certain pretentiousness in the future author of DESERT OF BIEVRES when Huchon prepares the veal stew as no one else can to be more precise it was more like something between a stew and a roast' "This revelation has led me to question the author's childhood friend on this detail and Georges Duhamel who like the author has been made a member of the French Academy was kind enough to write his answer on the half-title of this edition which is illustrated by Gus Bofa. "I was also intrigued by the drawing where the artist had brought together 'THE PALS' and in which I told him it appeared that one of the characters had lost his head or at least his cranium. "I asked him to please complete the drawing with a skillful stroke of his pencil. "He returned the drawing to me with an inscription as well as a curious letter which follows:. "I think that all of this adds to the interest of this charming volume signed Jean Franceche" Bofa's ALs response reads: Mr. N.D. des Champs Lundi 24 Novembre 88 Cher Monsieur Votre lettre soulÃ¨ve un cas de conscience ! Votre Â«copain sans visage Â» n'a pas perdu la tÃªte - il n'en a jamais eu - Jules Romain l'a voulu ainsi - lui dans le mÃªme temps mettait hors des soins a une grande tendresse a portraiturer les autres copains. Bien loin de vouloir ajouter a ce bonhomme le coup de crayon que vous me demandez je devrais plutÃ´t regretter de lui dÃ©jÃ supposÃ© un peu de menton de bouche et de crÃ¢ne sans y Ãªtre autorisÃ© par le contexte. Avec mes deux mains bien sympatiques signature Gus Bofa Mr. N.D. des Champs Monday November 24 â€˜88 Dear Sir Your letter stirs up a question of conscience! Your "pal without a face" has not lost his head - he never had one - Jules Romain wanted it like this and at the same time he got a lot of tenderness into the process of drawing the other friends. Far from wanting to add the stroke of pencil to this man that you have asked me to I regret that I cannot give him the supposed bit of chin mouth and head not being authorized to do so in this context. "With my two sympathetic hands signature Gus Bofa Duhamel's inscription reads: LES COPAINS Je n'ai aucune qualitÃ© pour poser ma signature sur le livre d'un ami de ma jeunesse; mais je dois dire que ma spÃ©cialitÃ© culinaire Ã©tait alors le ragoÃ»t de moutons & non le ragoÃ»t de veau. -signature G Duhamel Septembre 1958 THE PALS I have no authority to put my signature on the book of my childhood friend; but I must say that my culinary specialty was lamb stew not veal stew. -signature G. Duhamel September 1958 Monod 9851. Paris: Le Rayon d'Or/Librairie Gallimard, 1952 unknown books

BOFA Gus illustrator. ROMAINS Jules. Les Copains. Avec douze aquarelles par Gus Bofa. N.p. Paris: Le Rayon d'Or 1952. First edition illustrated by Bofa limited to 3500 numbered copies sur vélin blanc des Papeteries de Lana this being copy 3152.

Full crushed cordovan morocco spine lettered in gilt with vividly hand-painted lacquered paper boards in a modernist all-over composition of black yellow orange blue and red brushstrokes and grid patterns reflecting the anarchic spirit of the text. Top edge gilt. Custom painted endpapers. A superb and very fine copy in a matching leather-edged slipcase. With the following additions: An original ink and watercolor drawing by Gus Bofa showing the riotous group of copains with their characteristic red cheeks - annotated and inscribed to the owner at foot: "Mr. Jean Francesche cordialement Gus Bofa." An autograph letter signed ALS by Bofa dated 24 November 1958 addressed to the owner Jean Francesche explaining the curious omission of a head in one of the illustrated characters: "Votre 'copain sans visage' n'a pas perdu la tête - il n'en a jamais eu. Jules Romains l'a voulu ainsi." A tipped-in typed letter signed TLS by the owner Jean Francesche explaining how he assembled this copy after reading Romains's Souvenirs et confidences d'un écrivain tracing the culinary reference to Duhamel contacting him for clarification and engaging Bofa in a whimsical debate over the incomplete drawing. Francesche's commentary includes typed quotes from Souvenirs and his note concludes: "Je pense que tout cela augmente l'intérêt de ce charmant volume." Francesche's signed ex-libris is blindstamped to the inside front cover turn-in. A remarkable object of literary friendship bibliophilic playfulness and aesthetic invention. First published in 1913 Les Copains is a comic and subversive novel about a group of friends - eccentric idealistic and absurd - who form a loosely anarchic brotherhood and perform theatrical stunts and pranks across provincial France. It stands as an early literary expression of unanimism a theory of collective consciousness developed by Romains in the 1900s. As the New Oxford Companion to French Literature notes: "Before the war in 1914 Romains published. two novels Mort de quelqu'un 1911 and the farcical Les Copains influenced by Unanimist theories of social groups and collective psychology." This edition published nearly 40 years later by Le Rayon d'Or Gallimard's deluxe illustrated imprint pairs Romains's youthful anti-establishment text with twelve brilliant plates by Gus Bofa one of France's most original illustrators and caricaturists. Bofa celebrated for his sardonic wit and visual improvisation was a regular contributor to Le Rire and Crapouillot and illustrated classic texts by Swift Cervantes and La Fontaine. Renowned artist Gus Bofa b. Gustave Blanchot 1883-1968 was an illustrator for Rire and Sourire a costume and set designer a celebrated poster artist and illustrator for the literary journal Crapouillot.
