" This collection] displays Vian's range from gallows humor to verbal fireworks, and happily serves to give visibility to this important writer."- Publishers Weekly. "Ultimately, Blues for a Black Cat is a collection of moral fables, albeit fables told in a cynical, mocking voice and set in a skewed version of the real world. Under the surface absurdity and verbal play, they offer serious indictments of human weakness and pretensions. Further, they reveal the spiritual emptiness just beneath our civilized facade. Vian's blues are not only for a black cat, but for a society without meaning."- Manoa. " Blues for a Black Cat] brings back the nimble Vian in a collection of his short fiction, initially published as Les Fourmis in 1949. The work has the unmistakable flavor of the time and place, Claude Abadie's jazz band, the coded and absurdist messages of rebellion, the wistful fables, verbal riffs and goofy anarchic encounters; the mise-en-scene includes an expiring jazzman who sells his sweat, a cat with a British accent and a piano that mixes a cocktail when "Mood Indigo" is played."-Boston Globe. Boris Vian (1920-59), a trained engineer and jazz trumpet player, was a major literary figure in World War II France. Julia Older is the author or editor of many works. Her stories, translations, and poems have appeared in New Directions, the New Yorker, and many other journals.Binding Type: Paperback

It Works REALLY well
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have Lupus with Eczema and Psoriasis, and my skin is really sensitive. I was trying to find a sunscreen that wouldn't break out my skin when I was out and at home. I was looking on YouTube and came across a channel, DrDillyOfficial. She herself has eczema, so when she recommended the brand, I took a chance to buy this, and it was one of the best choices I made for my skin. Its cast free, very light weight and it has a nice glow effect so it doesnt make you shiny but the glow effect I love. When you're outside, you forget you even have it on its that good. I would highly recommend this it has been a life saver when going outside and worrying about sun protection

Perfect daily face sunscreen
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best daily sunscreen I have tried. Not greasy & leaves no white cast. Did not break out my face. It seems to make my skin look smoother & healthier while protecting it from daily sun damage. The consistency is not thick or too watery. It is thin enough to go on smooth and quickly. Just shake the bottle and lightly squeeze the tip onto your finger or face and smooth on evenly. Can be used under makeup as a base.

Stays in place no white cast. THE BEST!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
BEST facial sunscreen I have ever used. I also use Color Science tinted sunscreen when I’m not wearing any “makeup” . I was looking for a sunscreen to use under my regular makeup. I’ve tried several products that were highly recommended . This sunscreen actually makes my high-end makeup look smoother, softer and even looks to blur the wrinkles more than just the makeup. My makeup stays put it doesn’t pill, shred or melt off. I also wear it without makeup when exercising outdoors, so of course I’m going to sweat. It doesn’t burn my eyes if I sweat and actually stays in place. I also put it on my neck and Décolletage and it does not melt off. I know it’s pricey, but it’s worth it. I highly recommend this product. Check out the other Color Science tinted sunscreen It’s amazing too.

Truly no cast
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Goes on very smooth and there is truly no white cast. No weird smells, no stringing eyes etc. This is a great product, just wish the price point per oz was better

No White Cast
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
No white cast. I use the 2 finger method and have medium-deep skin tone. I have slightly oily skin and it does not leave my skin with a greasy, shiny or sticky either. I will definitely buy this again.
