The Scum of the days of Boris Vian, a classic of literature published in 1947. A story between Colin, the hero, and Chloe. There is also Chick, a passionate reader of Jean-Sol Patre. And Nicolas, the cook. Colin falls in love with Chloe, but she is soon suffering from a strange illness. A water lily grows in his body. And the only thing that can make it backward are the flowers. It is Arthur H who reads the book. It gives an amazing version but sticks well with the spirit of Vian.
"The foam of days" is funny but also tragic
But The Foam of Days is first and foremost a dream. The writing, the story, the book is punctuated by surrealist steps. The scum of days, it does not tell, it lives.
The dream turns into a nightmare when Chloe gets sick. To cure it, only one solution therefore: the flowers. The more flowers, the more the water lily shrinks. So Colin fills the house with flowers, and it works! Yes, but flowers cost money and you have to change them often. And after a while, Colin does not have enough to buy the flowers ... It's a world apart, beautiful, poetic, sweet and melancholy. The version of Arthur H is available on Audible.fr.
