Foam of the Daze
"(Vian) has been canonized by a whole generation of revolutionary young people...this fantasy of perishing purity is an affirmation of youth and innocence, laced with the biting humor of Jacques Prévert and Ionesco." --Newsweek"The most heartbreakingly poignant modern love story ever written." --Raymond QueneauFoam of the Daze is a novel like no other, a sexy, innocent, smart and sweet cartoon of a world which then begins, little by little, to bleed real blood until, in the end, the blood turns out to be our own. I read it nearly thirty years ago in its previous incarnation as Mood Indigo and I loved it then; it's still one of my favorite books in the whole world. --Jim Krusoe
