He was Proseur Elliot Paul, longtime Paris expatriate, onetime editor of the word-shattering magazine Transition, author of one good book, The Life and Death of a Spanish Town (TIME, June 28, 1937). A humdinger on the piano-accordion, Novelist Paul last winter got so interested in boogie-woogie that he took time off from writing detective stories to study boogie-woogie piano, under High-Priest Ammons. Last week he showed...
