Dear Sarah Bernhardt, Francoise Sagan. Seaver Books, 1987. First American Edition.
Vintage hardcover with dust jacket. Near fine book in near fine jacket.
Not wanting to write a traditional biography, Sagan hit upon the daring device of an imaginary correspondence between Sarah Bernhardt and herself, giving Bernhardt a first-person voice and a dimension that no mere biography could have captured. The result is a brilliant, lively, intimate exchange of letters between the two impetuous women. (from jacket flap).
