Raymond Queneau (1903–1976) is one of the largest writers in France of the 20th century, whose work developed under the sign of the deep reform of the French language he proposed. This volume includes Queneau's seminal works created after the Second World War: the unclassifiable Exercises in Style (1947), the novels Zazi in the Subway (1959) and Blue Flowers (1965), as well as short stories, The Fairy Tale to your taste" and the play "In Passing". Raymond Queneau was one of those ordinary geniuses who are able to combine the serious and the frivolous in their work with amazing virtuosity. One can consider him a great inventor, inexhaustible in inventing literary games, and a specialist in translating “from French to Joycean.” Or it could be a person who saw his mission in a profound reform of the French language and devoted his whole life to this cause. One of the largest authorities in the field of pataphysics, the founding father of the Workshop of Potential Literature, Queneau opened dizzying prospects for belles-lettres. And the works collected in this volume are the best evidence of this.
