SUMMARY
The plot of Exercises in Style is simple: a man gets into an argument with another passenger on a bus. However, this anecdote is told 99 more times, each in a radically different style, as a sonnet, an opera, in slang, and with many more permutations. This virtuoso set of variations is a linguistic rust-remover, and a guide to literary forms.Queneau, Raymond is the author of 'Exercises in Style', published 1981 under ISBN 9780811207898 and ISBN 0811207897.
