"To Justin Saget
with my warmest regards
Julien Gracq
4-2-48"

Justin Saget was the pseudonym of Maurice Saillet (1914 - 1990), found by Adrienne Monnier, whose assistant he was, and under which he regularly signed articles in Fightin the journal Critique edited by Georges Bataille, and caustics Soft tickets in the Mercure de France. When it came to poetry, he was the most influential figure in the magazine.
André Breton held him in high esteem, and wrote to Saint-John-Perse in September 1947: ".This review [Review]I was delighted that the promised text bears the signature of Justin Saget, who has just published some very remarkable pages on Jarry (as an afterword to a very hermetic poem), The Other Alcesteburied in La Revue blanche of 1896 and as a commentary on Jours et les Nuits, in the last issue (61) of Fontaine). Saget seems to me to be the most penetrating young critic today, and it is only right that he should be the one to show concern for you..
Saillet will also contribute to K magazine (1948), and in 1953, with Maurice Nadeau, created the literary review New Letters.
