"Unique jewel of literature", "tireless" and "in love with freedom" dies at 86. "I am losing a friend, whose writing wanders and yet sharpened like a blade," says Culture Minister.
"He made me love literature when I was still a painter," says Sollers' son. "The world has lost a great writer," says his father, "a man of great talent and talent for words" "I will miss you, my friend," says the late Soller.
