«L'écume des jours» is the novel by Boris Vian, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (315 pages, in French).
A dreamlike Paris hosts the love story between Colin and Chloé, in a tale that blends jazz, science fiction and fable. It alternates humor and melancholy, with nods to Duke Ellington or Sartre, while illness and death appear in an unusual way. A fable with the lyricism and social criticism of Boris Vian.
The novel was originally published in 1947; this French edition is from 1997 and belongs to the Ldp Littérature collection.
For readers of French literature and fans of contemporary fiction with fantastical and romantic elements.
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.
