«La espuma de los días» is the surrealist novel by Boris Vian, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Set in an imaginary Paris, it narrates the relationship of Colin and Chloé and that of their friends Chick and Alise. When a water lily grows in Chloé's chest, the initial lightness turns into a fight against an illness that only flowers seem to relieve. A melancholy and absurd story about love and loss.
Translation by Luis Sastre Cid of L'Écume des jours (1947); belongs to Alianza's El libro de bolsillo collection, Literature section, number 1658.
For readers of French classics, literary surrealism and melancholy love stories.
Boris Vian was a French polymath who is primarily remembered for his novels. Those published under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan were bizarre parodies of criminal fiction, highly controversial at the time of their release owing to their unconventional outlook.
