The French writer Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) is coming to be recognized as one of the major voices in 20th-century literature. Although twelve of his novels have been translated, Chêne et Chien, considered by specialists to be the keystone of his oeuvre, has not until now been available in English. Labeled a «novel in verse» by Queneau, this autobiographical poem recounts the poet's childhood, portions of that childhood revisited through psyc...

Sally Mara è una diciottenne che tiene un diario. Con un candore un po' sospetto e con effetti comici insuperabili, descrive l'ambiente in cui vive, e le sue prime esperienze sessuali, presentandoci come normali le situazioni più grottesche e scabrose.

Un poliziesco senza delitto. Una love story senza amore. L'educazione sentimentale di un personaggio alla Buster Keaton. Pierrot, fratello gemello di Zazie, non si decide a crescere e, come appunto i grandi comici, non invecchierà mai, fissato in una zona senza età.

Raymond Queneau (1903-1976), von dem es heißt, er setze sich unbekümmert über die Tabus der Sprache hinweg und zerstöre bedenkenlos fragwürdig Gewordenes, hat sich nie aus reiner Willkür gegen sprachliche Konventionen gewandt, sondern weil er Überkommenes nicht ungeprüft übernehmen wollte und durch die Worte hindurch nach der Bedeutung der Dinge suchte. 1950 erschienen zum ersten Mal Queneaus frühe Essays unter dem Titel "Bâtons, chiffres et l...

The first English translation of essays from one of the twentieth century's most intriguing avant-garde writers Compiled from two volumes of Raymond Queneau's essays ("Batons, chiffres et lettres" and "Le Voyage en Grece"), these selections find Queneau at his most playful and at his most serious, eloquently pleading for a certain classicism even as he reveals the roots of his own wildly original oeuvre. Ranging from the funny to the furious,...

On a crowded bus at midday, Raymond Queneau observes one man accusing another of jostling him deliberately. When a seat is vacated, the first man appropriates it.

The Sunday of Life (Le Dimanche de la vie), the late Raymond Queneau's tenth novel, was first published in French by Gallimard in 1951 and is now appearing for the first time in this country, in a translation by Barbara Wright. Critics are universally agreed that it and the later Zazie dans le métro (1959) show Queneau at his zaniest and most cheerful, and it is not surprising that both these novels have been made into popular and successful f...

Nella Parigi del quartiere latino, della Sorbona e dei piccoli caffè, giovani e vechi ingannano il tempo tra conversazioni di filosofia e letteratura. E il tempo è il vero protagonista di questo gustoso romanzo, inteso ciclicamente come ritorno e alternanza ma anche come unica e ineludibile direzione che consegna l'uomo alla vecchiaia e alla morte. Ciascuno ha la propria idea e la propria prospettiva: gli studentelli carichi di speranza, gli a...

Impish, foul-mouthed Zazie arrives in Paris from the country to stay with Gabriel, her female-impersonator uncle. All she really wants to do is ride the metro, but finding it shut because of a strike, Zazie looks for other means of amusement and is soon caught up in a comic adventure that becomes wilder and more manic by the minute. In 1960 Queneau's cult classic was made into a hugely successful film by Louis Malle. Packed full of word play a...
