«La espuma de los días» is Boris Vian's novel of love and fantasy, published by Cátedra in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
A bittersweet love story unfolds in a dreamlike world where objects behave unpredictably and a strange illness makes water lilies grow in the lungs. Fantasy, verbal humor and a festive tone wrap a simple tragedy: characters dragged by a blind and ruthless fate.
Fourth edition in the Letras Universales collection (number 294), edited by Elena Real. Original title: «L'Écume des jours», work originally published in 1947.
For readers of classics and French literature who enjoy stories where humor and fantasy coexist with drama.
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.
