Antoine Blondin (1922 – 1991) was a French writer who
belonged to the literary group called the Hussards. He was also a sports
columnist in L'Équipe and wrote under the name Tenorio.
Blondin was a bon-vivant known for generous drinking in the
Parisian district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, playing at bull-fighting with
passing cars and collecting numerous arrests for drunkenness. He chronicled
this life in his autobiographical romance, Monsieur
Jadis ou L'École du Soir. He was frequently pursued for unpaid tax.
