This is my second day digging into the Irving Wallace Papers and I was delighted to find evidence of the writing process. Turns out, while Wallace was on his way to Paris he stopped off at a little seaside town in Biarritz to receive a letter from his Publishing house and likewise dash one off to his editor in preparation for the final edits to The Almighty.
To write his editor, he used the stationary from Les prés d’Eugénie “because it was the biggest I could find” and “because it’s chic.” I have to agree. Très chic, Monsieur Wallace!
