«La espuma de los días» is Boris Vian's surrealist novel, published by Bruguera in paperback (255 pages, in Spanish).
The novel tells of the love between Colin and Chloé, marked by an illness that makes a water lily grow in her chest. In this dreamlike world, objects and animals come to life: mice that tidy the house, rooms that shrink, and inventions like the piano-cocktail bar or the heart-snatcher. A story combining tenderness, absurd humour and social satire.
Translation from French by Jordi Martí; the edition belongs to the 'Narradores de Hoy' collection, number 9. Original title: L'Écume des jours.
Recommended for readers of French literature and lovers of imaginative, surrealist 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.
