The J. Francis/Kubrick Correspondences - 08.06.1957

J. Francis to Kubrick 

August 6, 1957


Stanley—


“Floating” is what command does to memory. You numb to survive. You smile to protect others. Eventually, you forget the difference between pretending and belief.


If you're interested, I’ll send you the original piece where I tried to make sense of it—it's rough, but maybe you'll find something useful.


I’m working on new pieces. If I finish them before the world finishes me, I’ll send them.


—J.
