Boris Vian's legacy lives on in his apartment

Description

Paris (France), Aug 22 (EFE) (Camera: Marta Garde).- The apartment where Boris Vian lived until his death in 1959 still has his name on the mailbox. Behind the Moulin Rouge, with all his books, records and objects, is a time capsule in which the essence of the French writer, engineer and musician is still alive. FOOTAGE OF THE APARTMENT WHERE BORIS VIAN LIVED UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1959. INCLUDES SOUNDBITES OF NICOLE BERTOLT, NEW TENANT AND MANAGER OF HIS LEGACY.TRANSLATIONS:"Let's say we don't like the word museum very much, we prefer to always talk about Boris and Ursula's house, but above all it has become a working tool. Everything there is useful to us"."I'm fine in their house, but it's true that I don't exactly feel at home there. I take care of their things"."I would say that he is a writer who has granted himself all the freedoms, both in writing itself and in the style and choice of words"."They are timeless novels because they speak of the great problems of our time, which never end"."I think that when you enter this apartment it seems to me that it is cozy. It is full of things, it is evocative, it is alive. So yes, for us Boris Vian is still alive".
