Trivia

  • Because of the 1929 crash, Boris's father, Paul Vian had to lease his big house, keeping only a smaller one in the property for his family. Yehudi Menuhin thus became a neighbor of Boris Vian. Paul Vian got killed in 1944 by bandits in his house and the property was sold because of the family trauma.
  • Died during a preview of J'irai cracher sur vos tombes (1959), an adaptation of his novel that he disowned.
  • Engineer, poet, novelist, songwriter, jazz trumpeter, and record producer, Boris Vian was truly a symbol of the young post-war intellectuals of France.
  • His grandfather Henri Vian had a bronze art atelier. He did works for Edmond Rostand so Jean Rostand as a neighbor in Ville d'Avray knew the Vian family. Boris had his novel "Vercoquin et le plancton" read by Jean Rostand who sent it to Raymond Queneau.
