signed Unbound
by FLANNER, Janet
Unbound. Very Good. Picture postcard depicting the Hostellerie du Tourne-Bride in Le Pin-au-Haras, France. Addressed to author Mary McCarthy, undated but circa 1950. Flanner writes to McCarthy recommending the hotel: "Friday - Perfect for weekends, about 2 hours drive, magnificent forest, no noise, about $14 per day for both Noel & Me, each with double bed in one room decent pale blue bath and really fine family meals included in the price, also service. Near Bayeux. The address of this is listed under 'giver of this book,' which I carry in bag - the dear red Xmas address book - Love to you and Jim - devoted, Janet [crossed out] J.F." A nice association between two important American female Francophile authors. Flanner was the correspondent in France for *The New Yorker*. (Inventory #: 547180)
