Erik Satie never used to open the letters he received, but he always
answered them. He would check the sender’s name and address and
write a reply. After he died, his friends found all those unopened letters and some felt quite upset, but there was no need to be. The letters were published alongside Satie’s replies, and the results were fascinating. Ricardo Piglia wrote: “This is an amazing correspon- dence in which everyone is talking about different things, whichis, of course, the essence of dialogue.” -"
