Germany Greatest War Hero

Philippe Delerm / Walt Whitman



Dear Mr. Sarkozy,

I understand you have some sympathy for what comes from the United States.

With your friend Johnny Halliday, a connoisseur of the encyclopedic work of Thomas Lanier Williams, you probably said, humming as we all have within us something of Tennessee, which, on reflection, is still true for some than for others. You'll enjoy

I think discover, through this collection of poems, we all have within us something of Walt Whitman (1819-1892). You have a real problem with May 1968, an era and a spirit that you hope to definitively buried. The reading of Whitman's reassuring you may be revealing to you that the spirit of May 68 can be reconciled with the love of democracy. It probably worry by saying that the best May 68, which may suggest that there is something visceral and irreducible that could resurface, forms to define.

Finally, in the absence of liberalism, you hear in these pages blow the wind of freedom, which you will be happy, because I do not doubt that you're more attached to it than that.
I wish you good reading, and please believe in my respectful feelings,

Philippe Delerm .*
