“J’ai dévoré et dégusté tout à la fois La Veuve Couderc […] Extraordinaires analogies de ce livre avec L’Étranger de Camus dont on a tant parlé ; mais je trouve que votre livre va beaucoup plus loin, sans en avoir l’air […] ce qui est le comble de l’art… ”--André Gide letter of 14 July, 1945, cited in Simenon

English:

"I have devoured and savoured La Veuve Couderc [...] Extraordinary analogies between this book and Camus's L'Étranger, about which so much has been said; but I find that your book goes much further, without seeming to do so [...] which is the pinnacle of art...", translated by JWG
