In Paris in the 1950s Boris Vian was everything-poet, fiction writer, singer, subversive, actor, musician, and jazz critic. He was my friend, and I admired him passionately for his eclecticism, devastating irony, and taste for provocation.Fortunately, in France since his death Boris Vian has become the object of a veritable cult, and his work constantly is being reprinted.
