L'Écume des jours which had no success during the author's lifetime will make Boris Vian
a real myth among the youth after his death.
"Colin and Chloe's mad love ends up shattering against death.
This love is the foam that forms on the surface of the indifferent society.
Vian is influenced by the existentialist movement, to which he contributes in his
Chronicle of the liar, within the review founded by Jean-Paul Sartre, Les Temps Modernes.
Some of his works also make him a surrealist writer.
“The most poignant of contemporary romance novels”:
this is how Raymond Queneau defined " The foam of the days "
that Vian dreamed of inserting in his preface: "there are two periods, the one when one dresses carefully,
and so life consists of getting dressed almost all the time, it's before you're married, and you're watching,
on Saturday evening, the appearance of the button that we will have on our nose on Sunday, and then we are no longer calm,
that is to say, we begin to have misfortunes because we have stopped thinking only of ourselves. »
