In 1946, Boris Vian came to New York. He made the trip from France by submarine, caused a small international incident upon arrival, and had lunch. Then he ventured forth to discover America. He ran into Hemingway but didn’t recognize him, and failed to say hello. He went to see the Empire State Building, only to discover that it had recently been demolished. He came across the Surrealist André Breton living in Harlem camouflaged as a black man. He spent a morning sitting in front of his hotel, hoping to see a lynching, but was disappointed. Or so he said in “Impressions of America”. In fact, Vian never visited the United States, except in his own imagination (.pdf).
