| Summary: | "Elementary Morality, Raymond Queneau's last book, is in many ways his most momentous. Here he distils the work of a lifetime: as Surrealist, flaneur, mathematician, poet, student of Eastern philosophy, experimental novelist and co-founder of OuLiPo, the 'workshop for potential literature". Its 131 texts in the form of quennets - an invented form - and prose poems generated by the hexagrams of the I Ching are at once playful, mysterious and illuminating. David Bellos contributes an authoritative introduction to this first complete English translation of the work." -- |
