“Night Will Be Calm”—an interview book by Romain Gary, published in 1974. In conversations with his childhood friend François Bondy, the writer brings to mind the brightest pages of his biography. The reader is led through a long gallery of European and world-famous figures, with secrets of their private lives revealed. He receives a rare chance to peek into the “literary kitchen” of the celebrated writer. Gary’s own thoughts and judgments are especially interesting—often taking the form of a kind of prophecy.
