Abstract
- This article presents information on various literary developments which were brought about by the German aggression of France. An open contest for young writers was held on a weekly basis by a good literary paper. The subjects were "Portrait of a Collaborator Who Has Turned His Coat," and "Books Which Have Done Most Harm to France in the Last Four Years." Jean Bruller, whose "Silence of the Sea" remains the classic description of the pure French spiritual attitude toward the German triumph, now edits in the open his Editions de Minuit, which was the highwater mark of clandestine publishing. But it is taken as a sign of the present slackness of creative writing that his lists mainly include reprints.
