The world of Mood Indigo is a stained-glass cartoon kind of a place, where the piano dispenses cocktails, the kitchen mice dance to the sound of sunbeams, and the air is three parts jazz. Colin is a wealthy young aristocrat, a slim, innocent creature who loves easily. The instant he sees Chloe, bass drums thump inside his shirt, and soon the two are married. Typically generous, Colin gives a quarter of his fortune to his best friend Chick so he can marry Chloe's friend Alyssum. But a lily grows in Chloe's lung, and Colin must spend his remaining fortune on the only available treatment: surround.
"A new bride falls ill upon her honeymoon with a water lily in the lung, a painful and rare condition that can only be treated by surrounding her with flowers."
""Dans cette oeuvre d'une modernité insolente, livre culte depuis plus de cinquante ans, Duke Ellington croise le dessin animé, Sartre devient une marionnette burlesque, la mort prend la forme d'un nénuphar, le cauchemar va jusqu'au bout du désespoir. Mais seules deux choses demeurent éternelles et triomphantes : le bonheur ineffable de l'amour absolu et la musique des noirs américains..."

"A travers l'histoire fantaisiste de Colin et de Chloé, c'est un bouleversant poème de la jeunesse, de l'émerveillement de vivre, face à la lente marée du vieillissement, de la laideur, de la mort."

"Surrealistische roman over de ondergang van de jonge liefde tussen een rijke jongeman en een beeldschoon meisje."
"L'écume des jours est un roman où l'amour fou du héros (Colin) et de l'héroïne (Chloé) finit par se briser contre la mort. Cet amour est l'écume qui se forme à la surface de la société indifférente et de la vie humaine, et qui mène à la mort."
"Un titre léger et lumineux qui annonce une histoire d'amour drôle ou grinçante, tendre ou grave, fascinante et inoubliable, composée par un écrivain de vingt-six ans. C'est un conte de l'époque du jazz et de la science-fiction, à la fois comique et poignant, heureux et tragique, féerique et déchirant. Dans cette œuvre d'une modernité insolente, livre culte depuis plus de cinquante ans, Duke Ellington croise le dessin animé, Sartre devient une marionnette burlesque, la mort prend la forme d'un nénuphar, le cauchemar va jusqu'au bout du désespoir. Seuls deux choses demeurent éternelles et triomphantes : le bonheur ineffable de l'amour absolu et la musique des Noirs américains... -- Back cover."
"Román o tragickém milostném příběhu, předznamenaném nemocí a neodvratnou smrtí milované ženy. Je pojat jako moderní pohádka, v níž ději pomáhají různé symbolizující epizody, oživlé, projevující se věci a myslící, cíticí a mluvícízvířata. Hrdinové, tři muži a tři ženy, jsou lidé čistých charakterů, schopni kdykoliv se jeden pro druhého obětovat, lidé, kteří mají svůj životní styl a přitom i smysl pro humor, založený mnohdy na slovních hříčkách. Román, o němžRaymond Queneau napsal, že je "nejpůsobivější ze všech současných románů o lásce.""
"Presents a story in which a husband must try to keep his ill wife alive by constantly surrounding her with fresh flowers."@en
"Surrealistische fantasie, gebaseerd op het Daphnis en Chloë-thema, overgebracht naar Parijs in 1947."
