The first biography of Boris Vian in comic strip!

A brilliant dilettante, Boris Vian left his indelible mark on the 1950s: a novelist who was sensitive ("L'écume des jours" [The dregs of the days], "l'Automne à Pékin" [Autumn in Peking]) or scandalous ("J'irai cracher sur vos tombes" [I'd spit on your graves]), a satirist ("Je suis snob" [I'm a snob]), jazz fan (journalist and artistic director of a record company, he was a friend of Miles Davis), musician (at the Tabou, where he played the "trompinette"), Germanopratin pataphysician (with Jean-Paul Sartre and Raymond Queneau, he embodied the legend of post-war Saint-Germain-des-Prés).
Exactly 50 years after his death, Aire Libre pays tribute to a legend of literature.
