TranscriptHuger — dress designer. CHRISTINE JORDIS.
Met Christine Jordis (successor to Michel Mount) in Gallimard lobby. Lunch in Les Antiquaires: discussed publication of Shiloh, possible undertaking of the 3-vol. War; laid groundwork for future negotiations as advised by Mary Kling. At 3 oclock, came back from Gallimard & had a calvados in the Pont Royal Bar. 165ff — $15! A startling example of the expensiveness of Paris. Back in room, began Green’s Back. Received a bottle of Fauchon champagne from Bodley Head. Must remember to thank them, through Abner Stein. Delicatessen food in room for dinner. Finished Green, took up Delillo again – a jumbled impressionist work, not bad in its way but ultimately unsatisfactory. Hugs had a daylong photo session with a Paris designer & a model who wore his creations. |
