She participated in the Congress Esprit at Jouy-en-Josas in 1939, where the joung Jorge Semprún met her (He later gave an account of their relations in L'Écriture ou la Vie [fr]).
In the spring of 1940, she began her collaboration with the magazine Esprit under the pseudonym Claude-Edmonde Magny, alternating reflection articles (about Aldous Huxley in February) and notes on recent literary works.
After the war, and until 1951, she gave Esprit a dozen articles on Georges Bataille, the writers of the deportation and Sartre, Joyce, Malraux, Mauriac, Balzac.
