Les Lettres nouvelles was a French literary journal, published from 1953 to 1977. It was founded by Maurice Nadeau and Maurice Saillet [fr] and published by Mercure de France.

Les Lettres nouvelles first published Samuel Beckett's "Imagination Dead Imagine" and his French translation of Krapp's Last Tape,[1] the French translation of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood,[2] and (between 1954 and 1956) Roland Barthes's recurring column "Mythology of the Month" (later collected as Barthes's Mythologies).[3]
