«Les Fleurs bleues» is the novel by Raymond Queneau, published by Folio in paperback (280 pages, in French).
The novel plays with the famous Chinese apologue of Zhuangzi and the butterfly: Duke d'Auge and Cidrolin, two characters from different eras, seem to inhabit each other's dreams. Queneau alternates both perspectives and blurs the boundary between the real and the imagined, with his characteristic humor and prose full of wordplay.
The novel was originally published in 1965; the 1978 edition is number 1000 in the Folio collection.
For readers of French literature and twentieth-century classics who appreciate humor, fantasy and narrative play.
Raymond Auguste Queneau was a French novelist, poet, critic, editor and co-founder and president of Oulipo, notable for his wit and cynical humour.
