Account of a French government conference in Paris, “The Cultural Congress of Paris: Creation and Development,” attended by artists and intellectuals, which focused on vague, abstract topic, addressed by long-winded speakers. Mailer’s comment: “When a French savant encounters a guest who fills him with consternation, he speaks only in full paragraphs.”
