1972, Françoise Sagan, chapter 13, in Des bleus à l'âme, Stock, →ISBN:Éléonore et le jeune homme dansaient dans une boîte de nuit… Catastrophe ! Qu’ai-je dit ? Me voici retombée dans le petit monde de Sagan et des boîtes de nuit… En ce moment il est curieux, pour moi qui lis les journaux, de voir à quel point un auteur, qu’il s’appelle Troyat ou Jardin, ou n’importe qui, à l’instant où il fait entrer ses personnages dans une boîte de nuit, évoque aussitôt aux yeux de critiques mon joli nom.- Éléonore and the young man were dancing in a nightclub… Oh no! What have I said? I've fallen back into the little world of Sagan and her nightclubs… At the moment I find it odd, as someone who reads the newspapers, to see how an author, whether his name is Troyat or Jardin, or whoever, the moment he has his characters enter a nightclub, immediately conjures up in the minds of critics the name of yours truly.
