Ce recueil est une contribution a la biographie de Pierre Louys (1870-1925), le poete-conteur des Chansons de Bilitis et l'auteur de plusieurs romans souvent sulfureux, La Femme et le Pantin etant son plus celebre. Jean-Paul Goujon presente ici un journal de voyage et un echange epistolaire. Le Journal de Meryem, tout d'abord, en grande partie redige par l'ami Andre-Ferdinand Herold (ecrivain de son etat, petit-fils du compositeur Louis-Ferdinand Herold), rend compte d'un sejour de Louys en Algerie durant l'ete 1894. Sejour purement anecdotique dans la vie de Louys, s'il n'y avait connu la jeune Meryem bent Ali, qui a son role dans Les Chansons de Bilitis composees la meme annee: Meryem, note J.-P. Goujon, meme si elle n'inspira pas vraiment Bilitis, lui donna quelques-uns de ses traits et confera a ce personnage imaginaire tout le charme de sa presence. Seconde piece du dossier, quelques lettres adressees a une certaine Zohra bent Brahim, jeune et tres sensuelle algerienne rencontree par Louys en 1897, lors d'un autre voyage a Alger. Ce document singulier montre l'ecrivain englue dans ses nombreuses relations feminines, tiraille entre l'aspiration vers le mariage au sein de son univers tres aristocratique, et la vie libre, purement sensuelle avec des jeunes filles de hasard, pouvant bien etre illettrees, comme cette pauvre Zohra qui subit, il faut l'avouer, un Pierre Louys assez manipulateur et cynique, d'une tendresse, finalement, plutot pathetique.
