Summary
Queneau uses a variety of literary styles and forms in ninety-nine exercises which retell the same story about a minor brawl aboard a bus
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
âA work of genius in a brilliant translation by Barbara Wrightâ¦.Endlessly fascinating and very funny.â âPhilip Pullman
The plot of Exercises in Style is simple: a man gets into an argument with another passenger on a bus. However, this anecdote is told 99 more times, each in a radically different style, as a sonnet, an opera, in slang, and with many more permutations. This virtuoso set of variations is a linguistic rust-remover, and a guide to literary forms.Editions
