Matzneff goes on B. Pivot's show to talk about the Under Sixteens.

“Dear Fred, I have been trying to contact you since this morning. Here's what's happening. Pivot is devoting its first back-to-school show to children and teenagers, and he invites me there for the Under Sixteens. This show airs on September 12, live. If I take part I will have to delay my departure for Sardinia and will not be able to join you there until the 13th. Pivot has given me until Monday to decide. What should I do ? On the one hand, I have a crazy desire to send them to hell and not delay my departure for Cagliari even by an hour; and on the other hand, I tell myself (or rather my press officer tells me) that “Open the quotes” is a very important, widely watched program, and that it is essential that I be present on it. What to decide? You see me indecisive, embarrassed to the extreme. I certainly wouldn't want to give you extra hassle (changing the date of my plane ticket, etc.). Really, what to do? Tonight I'm having dinner out, but you can call me even late, or rather tomorrow morning. I need your opinion. Your faithful friend Gabriel. »
