«Le Chiendent» is the experimental novel by Raymond Queneau, published by Gallimard in the Folio collection: a 431-page French-language paperback.
The novel begins when a woman witnesses an accident outside a Paris station and stays waiting for it to happen again; from there, several characters emerge whose lives intertwine. The narrative employs an experimental style and colloquial language, and explores identity, reality and the absurdity of existence.
Originally published in 1933; this edition corresponds to number 588 in the Folio collection.
Suitable for readers of twentieth-century French fiction and modern classics with an interest in literary play and language.
Raymond Auguste Queneau was a French novelist, poet, critic, editor and co-founder and president of Oulipo, notable for his wit and cynical humour.
