HUYSMANS, Joris Karl (i.e. Charles-Marie-Georges Huysmans, 1848-1907). Two autograph letters and two autograph cards signed ('C. Huÿsmans') to [Oscar] Métenier, Jean Havard, and unidentified correspondents, Paris and n.p., 20 June 1887 - 17 April 1904 and n.d. (one on the verso of a letter by Havard), together 6 pages, 8vo.
Huysmans responds enthusiastically to Métenier's play: 'elle est toujours et toujours superbe votre "En Famille" nouvelle' (controversially produced with a cast of criminals, and about an execution). Other writers mentioned include Lafitte, [Jean-Louis] Forain, and a M[onsieur] Lorain who has dedicated two sonnets to him; he writes to Havard about his article in the Nouvelliste de Bordeaux. (4)
