Les Temps modernes
During 1952–1953, Frank was in charge of the literary column in "l'Observateur", as a substitute for Maurice Nadeau. He started his work on the weekly with a double page which he dedicated to Drieu la Rochelle. He then coined the label "Hussards", in a December 1952 article published in "Les Temps modernes", to designate writers such as Roger Nimier and Antoine Blondin.
