" This collection] displays Vian's range from gallows humor to verbal fireworks, and happily serves to give visibility to this important writer."- Publishers Weekly. "Ultimately, Blues for a Black Cat is a collection of moral fables, albeit fables told in a cynical, mocking voice and set in a skewed version of the real world. Under the surface absurdity and verbal play, they offer serious indictments of human weakness and pretensions. Further, they reveal the spiritual emptiness just beneath our civilized facade. Vian's blues are not only for a black cat, but for a society without meaning."- Manoa. " Blues for a Black Cat] brings back the nimble Vian in a collection of his short fiction, initially published as Les Fourmis in 1949. The work has the unmistakable flavor of the time and place, Claude Abadie's jazz band, the coded and absurdist messages of rebellion, the wistful fables, verbal riffs and goofy anarchic encounters; the mise-en-scene includes an expiring jazzman who sells his sweat, a cat with a British accent and a piano that mixes a cocktail when "Mood Indigo" is played."-Boston Globe. Boris Vian (1920-59), a trained engineer and jazz trumpet player, was a major literary figure in World War II France. Julia Older is the author or editor of many works. Her stories, translations, and poems have appeared in New Directions, the New Yorker, and many other journals.Binding Type: Paperback

Might Need to Turn Off Security Measures in Order to Download
I'm a 1st grade teacher and use my ET-2800 religiously. We own 4 of them, between home, my husband's and my classroom, and one for sublimation. I've printed over 15,000 copies on my school printer in the last few years and had no idea about the ink pad replacement until the error message popped up and wouldn't work anymore.
I originally purchased a different set and couldn't get it to work. I was in panic mode so I ordered this set, which also originally didn't work.
After really paying attention to the alerts that were popping up, I finally had to Google how to turn off my McAfee and Windows Security programs. They were blocking it from running.
Once I did that, it was able to install and it is back up and running again. It did make me very nervous to turn them off but as soon as I got it installed, I turned them right back on and ran scans. So far I haven't had any issues in the last few days.
The installation is extremely easy, it came with gloves, a screw driver, etc. Mine wasn't messy, so I didn't need the gloves or anything. It's also a 3-pack, so I left myself reminders for next time on how turn off the security.
If you are having installation problems, turn off all of your malware security and that will probably help. Just make sure you turn it back on and run scans, the whole process with all of these websites seems shady and scary at first, but this one appears to be legit. I did read that Windows 10 and 11 tend to block sites that are deemed safe.

Recommend without hesitation
I don't typically write reviews but wanted to let people searching for a solution to this Epson inkpad problem that they should not hesitate to order this product. I got it yesterday and had my printer back up and printing in 10 minutes--Epson wanted me to buy a new printer or hire a certified repairman! btw, I did not see what others referred to as a sketchy website for downloading the software and I did not need to disable my antivirus software to complete this task.
