A review by nini23
Blues for a Black Cat and Other Stories by Boris Vian

Did not finish book.

Whores, STD, war, black cats drinking cognac to their death - so droll. Written more than 70 years ago, Boris Vian heard Duke Ellington play, was a protégé of Sartre and knew Simone de Beauvoir, as gushingly told in the introduction.  It was a different time and thank goodness now women occupy more varied roles.
