“Martin, I hope the people of Morvan are treating you well, and that you’re happy to be in France . As I’m settling in here, I’ve decided to rent a post office box to lighten Mr. Stuyvesant’s load […] I’ve started a novel, and I think I’ll be traveling and communicating very little in the coming months. Take care, best regards. Michel Houellebecq.”
