«L'Écume des jours» is Boris Vian's surrealist novel, published by Pauvert in paperback (215 pages, in French).
In an imaginary world where the everyday coexists with the impossible, the novel tells a love story with Duke Ellington's jazz and the cultural references of the era as a backdrop. The luminous, humorous fable gradually deforms into an exploration of pain and loss, until it becomes dreamlike.
The work was originally published in 1947; this French-language edition from Pauvert is from 1987. It is considered a cult work of French literature.
Aimed at readers of French literature and those seeking a 20th-century surrealist classic.
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.
