«Zazie dans le métro» is the novel by Raymond Queneau, published by Gallimard in paperback (352 pages, in French).
Zazie arrives in Paris for the first time and stays with her uncle Gabriel. She couldn't care less about the monuments; the only thing that interests her is the metro. When she discovers the staff are on strike, she flies into a rage with a very personal language. Queneau turns her visit into a comic and disconcerting tour of a Paris full of wordplay.
The Folioplus classiques edition includes a dossier by Laurent Fourcaut, an image reading by Ferrante Ferranti, and an analysis of Louis Malle's movie. The novel was originally published in 1959.
Recommended for students of French and for classroom work, with materials that support analysis of the work and its film adaptation.
Raymond Auguste Queneau was a French novelist, poet, critic, editor and co-founder and president of Oulipo, notable for his wit and cynical humour.
