Letter to Michel Fabre November 1968

Chez Mme. E. Disdier Les Fenouilleres 38, Seyssins, France 15 November 1968 Professor Michel Fabré Université de Paris Faculté des Lettres et Sciences Huaimes 200, Avenue de la République 92 - Nanterre, France Dear Professor Fabré Picking up my mail yesterday, I found your letter which told me of the action of the Association Française d'Etudes Américaines in appointing me the coordinator for papers on the racial revolution in the United States to be presented at the March Congress of that organization. Since I have not received the AFEA report that apparently gives some details about the event, perhaps you could have one mailed to me at my address in Seyssins. (Perhaps you would be kind enough to include a reprint of some work of yours on Richard Wright or on Afro-American liter- ature, if you have something immediately handy). Having never acted as a coordinator before, and being a non- joiner myself, I can only tentatively accept the appointment, which does, of course, sound like an interesting one. It occurs to me that, upon final acceptance of such a task, I should want to correspond with each person who is deliver a paper on the subject, and to assume other tasks without which I could not perform to my own satis- faction. And I assume that the affair would be a rather informal one. So, I shall look forward to learning more about this interesting meeting. Are literary subjects to be included? (I am generally more drawn to the literary than to the confused and intrigue-ridden social activities of these particular years in our strange history.) I am glad that you found DARK SYMPHONY attractive; I look forward to discovering reviews of it. Did you see my LANGSTON HUGHES (Twayne, 1967) and my THE TREEHOUSE AND OTHER POEMS (Broadside Press, Detroit, 1968)? As you say, it would be pleasant if you and Theodore Gross and I could get together in Paris. In the meantime, I look forward to hearing more from you regarding your organization's spring meeting. Sincerely, James A. Emanuel
