"L'écume des jours is Romeo and Juliet without family conflicts, Tristan and Yseult who don't need a potion, Paul and Virginie in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a Lady whose Camellias are replaced by a Water Lily, Héloïse without castrating Abelard. This is a turning point: the moment, after the war, when the French novel says that what matters is to make the reader move to the tune of bebop. Boris Vian is fed up with academicism, he wants to make people laugh and swing the language, he wants to bring tears to their eyes, he also wants to make them dream and offer more than a romance: a window open onto the marvelous." Frédéric Beigbeder
