For a study of the French mystic-philosopher-militant Simone Weil (1909–1943) and the response to her work, I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might offer new documentation. Of particular value are unpublished recollections, memos, and other records addressing the appreciation of her by Elizabeth Hardwick and other editors at The New York Review.
