Boris Vian
Froth on the Daydream

L'Ecume des jours (Froth on the Daydream) is a jazz-fueled Science Fiction story that is both romantic and nihilistic! Vian's novel is an assortment of bittersweet romance, absurdity, and the frailty of life. Froth on the Daydream is a nimble-fingered masterpiece that is both witty and incredibly moving. It is the story of a wealthy young man Colin and the love of his life Chloe, who develops a water lily in her lung.
