«Garçon de quoi écrire» is the interview book by François Sureau with Jean d'Ormesson, published by Gallimard in paperback (288 pages, in French).
Two men talk as night falls about literature, politics and morality. One, a novelist and former editor of Le Figaro, puts literature above all else; the other believes writing and action can be combined. The dialogue reviews Jean d'Ormesson's life, his encounters with Malraux, Pompidou or Agnelli, and the serene acceptance of uncertainties.
Originally published on 11 October 1989. The book belongs to Gallimard's Blanche collection.
For readers of French literature and for those who want to approach the career of Jean d'Ormesson, member of the Académie française.
François Maurice Christophe Sureau is a French writer, lawyer and technocrat. In 2020, he was elected to the Académie Française.
