In Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style, this determinedly pointless scenario unfolds 99 times in twice as many pages. Originally published in 1947 (in French), these terse variations on a theme are a wry lesson in creativity. The story is told as an official letter, as a blurb for a novel, as a sonnet, and in "Opera English." It's told onomatopoetically, philosophically, telegraphically, and mathematically. The result, as translator Barbara Wright writes in her introduction, is "a profound exploration into the possibilities of language."

Biography Base Home Link To Us Search Biographies: Browse Biographies A B C D ... Z Raymond Queneau Biography Raymond Queneau (February 21, 1903 - October 25, 1976), French poet and novelist. Life Born in Le Havre, Queneau spent much of his life working for French publisher Gallimard. He briefly joined the Surrealists, but found that their approach of letting the unconscious mind create did not suit him. Rather, elements of a work, including seemingly trivial details such as the number of chapters, were things that had to be predetermined, perhaps even calculated. This idea was later one of the cornerstones of the Oulipo momvement, of which he was a founder. He was also a member of the College of Pataphysics. He came to general attention in France with the publication in 1959 of his novel Zazie dans le métro, and with the film adaptation by Louis Malle in 1960 at the height of the nouvelle vague movement in French film. Zazie explores colloquial language as opposed to written French; a distinction which is more marked in French than some other languages. The first word of the book, the alarmingly long "Doukipudonktan" is a phonetic transcription of "D'où qu'il(s) pue(nt) donc tant ?" "Why do(es) he/they stink so much ?". After the founding of the Oulipo in 1960, Queneau turned further to mathematics as a source of inspiration.

4. Scriptorium - Raymond Queneau Biography, description of major works, links. http://www.themodernword.com/scriptorium/queneau.html

By Braulio Tavares Raymond Queneau Raymond Queneau's mind could have been described as a room with a fireplace, where a group of Club Stories characters gathered together and talked endlessly among themselves a mathematician, a humorist, a scholar, a linguist, a poet, a detective. For the Scriptorium's purposes I assume that you, dear reader, are not familiar with his work, and this text will try to give you an idea (albeit incomplete) about his ideas, his personality and his writings. Queneau was born in Le Havre in 1903 and went to Paris when he was 17. For some time he joined André Breton's Surrealist group, but after only a brief stint he dissociated himself. Now, seeing Queneau's work in retrospect, it seems inevitable. The Surrealists tried to achieve a sort of pure expression from the unconscious, without mediation of the author's self-aware "persona." Queneau's texts, on the contrary, are quite deliberate products of the author's conscious mind, of his memory, his intentionality. Although Queneau's novels give an impression of enormous spontaneity, they were in fact painstakingly conceived in every small detail. He even once remarked that he simply could not leave to hazard the task of determining the number of chapters of a book. Talking about his first novel

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. A twentysomething bus rider with a long, skinny neck and a goofy hat accuses another passenger of trampling his feet; he then grabs an empty seat. Later, in a park, a friend encourages the same man to reorganize the buttons on his overcoat.

There's a great deal of clever literary play here, commentary on both the Aesthetes of the late 1800's and modern fiction, and Queneau has any number of literary tricks up his sleeve. It's all exceptionally well done, with many a twist to it, and a great deal of fun. Barbara Wright's translation also manages to capture the playfulness of the original very well. It is a slight book an entertainment but it is also a very good one. Strongly recommended.

Review Summaries Source Rating Date Reviewer The New Yorker TLS George Craig - Return to top of the page - The complete review 's Review The Last Days is in many respects an autobiographical novel. The main character, Vincent Tuquedenne, is a student, whose academic life and career closely follow Queneau's own. A student of philosophy at the Sorbonne, an intellectual lad from the country not entirely comfortable in the big city in the 1920s, Tuquedenne proceeds somewhat aimlessly and without clear ambition. Well, he has ambition (to learn languages, to read even more books), but these best laid plans often come to naught. He muddles through, better than most: a fairly typical student-life of the period between the wars. The books is an interesting portrait of Paris in the twenties, following the paths of Tuquedenne and several of his fellow students, as well as several other, older Paris characters. Told in short, episodic chapters, covering the course of several years Queneau introduces the reader to many aspects of Parisian student and cafe life. Most of this is fairly interesting (though hardly riveting), and a few of the episodes are quite humorous and others poignant. Certainly he pulls the book together nicely in the end, as the paths of the characters have become clearly delineated, their fates now fairly obvious.

18. Queneau, Raymond Raymond Queneau (February 21, 1903 – October 25, 1976) was a French poet and novelist. In addition to his own writings, he edited and published Alexandre Koj ve 's lectures http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Raymond_Queneau

Queneau, Raymond From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Raymond Firth) Next (Raymond Williams) Raymond Queneau (February 21, 1903 – October 25, 1976) was a French poet and novelist. In addition to his own writings, he edited and published Alexandre Kojève 's lectures on Hegel 's Phenomenology of Spirit. Queneau had been a student of Kojève's during the 1930s and was, during this period, also close to Georges Bataille . It is hard to overestimate the influence of Kojève's re-reading of Hegel on twentieth century French intellectual life. It influenced an entire generation, including Queneau, Bataille, Jean-Paul Sartre and later, Jacques Derrida, among many others. Kojève's humanistic reading of Phenomenology of Spirit focused on the "Master/Slave" dialectic as the prism through which all of history was read. This dialectic, in which the slave, while slave, becomes the true master because he performs the master's work, thus gaining real "mastery" over the world, which the "master" becomes enfeebled through inactivity, served as the basis for Kojève's and his disciples' reading of human society and human psychology. This dialectic is ultimately resolved in the Hegelian "end of history," which Queneau attempts to depict in his Le dimanche de la vie
