Boris Vian wrote prose and poetry, worked as a journalist, wrote scripts and acted in films (a dozen and a half films, by the way), sang and composed songs (about four hundred in total). It is a rare case when intellectual prose also turns out to be funny, but this is precisely the main work of Boris Vian, “Foam of Days.” This fascinating, phantasmagorical, enchanting mystery novel is still printed all over the world in millions of copies. It is no coincidence that F. Begbeder put it in the top ten of his world literary hit parade. This edition also includes the novels “Autumn in Beijing”, “Heartbreaker”, “Red Grass”, a collection of short stories “Goosebumps” and two works written by Vian under pseudonym Vernon Sullivan: “All the dead have the same skin” and “I will come to spit on your graves.”
