The volume also contains selections from the Val ry-Gide and Val ry-Fourment correspondence, an interview with Val ry entitled "The Avenues of the Mind," and Pierre Feline's "Memories of Paul Val ry."

The Collected Works of Paul Val ry, the first collected edition of the writer in English, features new translations, the original French on facing pages for poetic works, and editorial notes.
