description From June to September 1934, while travelling in the USSR with his wife Clara, André Malraux took notes in a notebook that remained unpublished until 2007. This notebook evokes a number of encounters: Malraux recounts anecdotes and anonymous remarks; and he talks about writers, cinema and painting. What is particularly interesting is that this text functions as a sort of matrix or laboratory: it sketches out, for example, reflections that Malraux will take up and deepen, a few years later, in his Sketch for a Psychology of the Moving Picture; but also scenes that will be developed in the author’s novels – in such a way that viatical testimony must be seen as part of a much broader continuum of writing.
