Résumé

« Elle m’ intimidait, comme m’ intimident les enfants, certains adolescents et tous les gens qui se servent autrement que moi du langage. Je suppose que de mon côté, je la mettais mal à l’ aise. » Par ces mots extraits de La Force des choses, Beauvoir revenait sur le mélange d’ intimidation et d’ embarras qui flottait sur ses rencontres avec la jeune Françoise Sagan. Cet article se propose de faire revivre l’ histoire des relations oubliées entre ces deux icônes des lettres françaises.

Abstract

“I found her intimidating, as I do children and adolescents and everyone who uses language differently from me. I suppose she felt ill at ease with me too.” In these words from Force of Circumstance, Beauvoir evokes the blend of intimidation and embarrassment that surround her encounters with the young Françoise Sagan. This article revives the history of forgotten relations between these two icons of French literature.
