...writers, books and filmmakers that he shared with me, texts with a certain type of intimacy that had the same effect on me as they had on him." One of these influences is François Truffaut, with his tender explorations of relationships; another, the wistful 1970s chanteur Alain Souchon. Delerm's writing contains unexpected metaphors that focus on small observations, like the image of a naked woman that forms and disappears in a cup of sake in the song Evreux. Critics dismiss his style as precious, and ridicule his distinctive enunciation - drawn-out syllables and unexpected, oddly placed, upward...
...student-worker upheaval of last May and June. Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, Europe's largest-and by any measure its proudest -glass manufacturer, was fighting for its corporate life. Still more astonishing, it was battling against an American-style takeover attempt by a much smaller competitor, Boussois Souchon Neuvesel. Last week the great glass battle ended with Saint-Gobain overpowering the upstart by sheer financial force...
...Marcelle Ranson). Miss Ranson along with the easily swayed, emotionally extravagant and insecure Orgon (Gaston Vacchia) and the very slimy Tartuffe (Yves Gasc) give their roles a credibility and life the others lack.

In his first LP starring role, Jazz Authority Souchon offers some rambling recollections of pre-World War I New Orleans music and provides a few choice examples-Sweet Baby Doll, Animules Ball-in a gravelly, sowbelly voice that has the unvarnished ring of authenticity...
...Souchon, who gets up daily at 6 a.m. to work at his easel, has painted as many pictures as many a hard-working professional. But he asks only one thing of his artistic hobby: that it should be fun. "I've seen so much death and suffering," says he, "I have to find diversion in painting." When he ceases to get any fun out of a picture, he throws it aside and does another one. Because he finds meticulous draughtsmanship a bore, he doesn't even bother to finish the faces in his figures, leaves them eyelessly blank...
