FALLET, René. Charleston. - Lot 155
FALLET, René. Charleston. First edition, featuring an autographed dedication by René Fallet to Lucienne, Françoise, and Pierre Onteniente. Paris, Denoël, 1967. In-8, paperback, printed cover. 221 pages. Spine creased, foxing on the cover. First edition printed on standard paper. In this novel, which follows René Fallet’s “whiskey” style—a tone that is at once irreverent and nostalgic— the author recreates the atmosphere of London during the Roaring Twenties, with its fog, bowler hats, smoky pubs, and a murderer reminiscent of Jack the Ripper—all set to the syncopated rhythm of the Charleston. This copy features, on the half-title page, an autographed dedication by René Fallet to Lucienne, Françoise, and Pierre Onteniente (1921–2013), a close friend and confidant of Georges Brassens: “For Lucienne, Françoise, and Pierre, with the enduring Franco-British friendship of their Pierre Fallet, March ’68.” Clean and fresh interior.
