«Zazie en el metro» is the humorous novel by Raymond Queneau, published by Alfaguara in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
Zazie arrives in Paris to stay with her uncle Gabriel, but all she cares about is riding the metro. That the employees are on strike doesn't daunt her: the girl never shuts up. Amid eccentric characters and absurd situations, Queneau deploys a playful and irreverent language that turns a stroll through Paris into a verbal feast.
Translation by Fernando Sánchez Dragó. The novel was originally published in 1959 as «Zazie dans le métro»; this Spanish edition is from 1990.
For readers who enjoy twentieth-century French literary classics and irreverent humor.
Raymond Auguste Queneau was a French novelist, poet, critic, editor and co-founder and president of Oulipo, notable for his wit and cynical humour.
