Sophie | 216 comments L'ecume Des Jours is a 1947 novel by French author Boris Vian. It's been translated into English multiple times as Froth on the Daydream (1967), Mood Indigo (1968) and Foam of the Daze (2012).

"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. Foam of the Daze is a nimble-fingered masterpiece that is both witty and incredibly moving. It is a story of a wealthy young man Colin and the love of his life Chloe, who develops a water lily in her lung."
