Evguénie Sokolov is a Romance court writes by Serge Gainsbourg and published in 1980. One discovers the history of a young French painter of origin Slavic, talented, recognized, leader of the current of the " hyperabstraction" who owes his success with his " vents" , it paints while benefitting from the vibrations offered by its farts.

Faithful to his direction of the provocation, Serge Gainsbourg will astonish as a novelist by his precise, scientific style, almost surgical, and by the originality of his account.

The reception of this work will be mitigated, certain will strongly criticize it reproaching him its excess, its vulgarity, its brevity while others will recognize in this account an art critic, its possible vacuity, but also an allegory on the sublimation of what the individual can have of ashamed in him, and to offer to the eyes of the others - a physiological anomaly for Evguénie Sokolov, ugliness for Serge Gainsbourg.
