82 1496 Sullivan V = B Vian 82 1496 Sullivan V = B Vian
82/1496 Sullivan, V. (= B. Vian). I shall spit on your graves. Paris, The Vendôme press, 1948, 1st ed., 201,(1)p., orig. wr.

= Under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan, Boris Vian wrote rather bizarre parodies of criminal fiction, which were highly controversial at the time of their release. This pulp fiction book was published as a provocation by Vian to his critics. Both the publisher Vendôme press and this book were solely created to make people believe in the existence of Vian's alias. The original French publication J'irai cracher sur vos tombes (1946) was also written by Sullivan, although he let people believe it was written by an underappreciated young black author whose work was banned in his native country. Very rare.
