«Les lettres que je n'ai pas envoyées» is the collection of letters by Françoise Dorin, published by Plon in 2009 in paperback (225 pages, in French).
In these unsent letters, Françoise Dorin shows herself ironic and affectionate towards an elderly woman in love, «la abominable mujer de agosto», a calorie-obsessed woman, or her own grumpy half, Paule Nord. The volume brings together reproaches, advice, confidences and praises that draw a mordant self-portrait of everyday life.
For readers with a command of French who enjoy ironic epistolary literature and portraits of customs.
Françoise Andrée Renée Dorin was a French actor, comedian, novelist, playwright and songwriter. She was most successful in the 1970s, authored about 30 plays and more than 25 books as well as writing songs for various artists. Dorin wrote the song N'avoue jamais which was performed by Guy Mardel on behalf of France at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965. She was appointed Commandeur of the Légion d'honneur, the Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Grand officier de l’ordre national du Mérite. A street in Paris' 17th arrondissement was voted unanimously by the Council of Paris to be named after Dorin following her death.
