Boris Vian Invents Boris Vian

A wide ranging compendium of short stories, poems, and miscellaneous writings of Boris Vian. Edited and translated by Julia Older whose last book of Vian's prose (Blues for a Black Cat and Other Stories) was praised widely for capturing Vian's "gallows humor to verbal fireworks." This book continues Older's exploration of the world of Boris Vian and making many untranslated writings more widely available.
