«Zazie dans le métro» is the humorous novel by Raymond Queneau, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (272 pages, in French).
Zazie arrives in Paris for the first time, at her uncle Gabriel's place. She cares little for the monuments: she only wants to ride the metro. When she learns the metro workers are on strike, she responds with insults and impertinent remarks. The prose plays with oral French and phonetics, with a very marked colloquial register.
1996 edition in the Folio Plus collection; the work was originally published in 1959.
Suitable for readers of twentieth-century French literature and for students of French who want to practice with a colloquial register.
Raymond Auguste Queneau was a French novelist, poet, critic, editor and co-founder and president of Oulipo, notable for his wit and cynical humour.
