Correspondence to Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel, 1941-1952.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155865027

Letters of friendship (Remarque signs his name "Boni"), which sometimes touch on Remarque's current writing, refer to Werfel's work (his poetry, the novel the Song of Bernadette), or allude to the war or the situation of exile; otherwise, they generally reflect Remarque's social interactions with Alma and Franz, the everyday flow of life, and personal updates (such as the plans for an exhibition of his art collection). Most of the letters are written from New York City, and Remarque describes the atmosphere and cultural life there. At one point there are references to their mutual friend Franz Theodor Csokor, who was apparently seeking a way to come to the U.S. from England. Includes a letter of condolence to Alma upon Werfel's death.
