Juri,
In French : disparaî´²e (verb) and disparition (noun)
(literally: disappearing) means also the person you speak of
is dead. In a kind of metaphoric way, but it's a quite usual
expression in that language.
I was myself briefly in contact with Martin, two years ago,
in the hope to translate into English the invaluable research
he did about hard-boiled lit authors, for his now defunct
magazine "HB Dicks". I had the idea to publish some of them
in my Hard-Boiled Mysteries web-site He was open to the idea,
but lack of time on my side, and distance, all made I could
not materialize the idea.
