Letters to Camondo
By Edmund de Waal
A companion to the potter’s 2010 memoir The Hare with Amber Eyes, this book is a series of 58 imaginary letters to Moïse de Camondo, whose house is now the Musée Nissim de Camondo and to whom De Waal’s relatives, the Ephrussi family, were connected. The artist explores the man’s life, death, home and collections, and both families’ experiences of anti-semitism.
