GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (1856-1950) A 2pp. printed journalist's application questionnaire in French, evidently given to Shaw by the Belgian writer (?) Dotremont, which ' Bernard Shaw, Viellard sans future' has taken literally, and responds with wit and flippancy: ' Quels Thèmes aimeriez-vous traiter dans nos colonnes? "None. I have left it all behind Me." Quels Honoraires vous sembleraient convenables pur les débuts de nos revues? "What you can afford, which will not be princely." Quels écrivains ... nous suggérez vous de solliciter? "All that I know are either dead or moribund." Quelles suggestions pouvez-vous aimablement exprimer quant à la teneur de nos revues internationales? "Whatever is in vogue at the moment, the more controversial the better. G. Bernard Shaw, 13th May 1946." , stamped ' Ayot Saint Lawrence, Welwyn, Herts.'
