Near new condition. First edition out of commerce.


"While writing this short biography, but which I wanted to be quite complete and thorough, I applied myself to giving a general overview of Queneau's life, favoring the facts, giving him the floor again on several occasions because no one better than the writer did not know how to express with more richness the diversity of its experience, and this in all fields.
Queneau died in 1976. It therefore seems now possible to better grasp the importance of his contribution to 20th century literature, as a novelist, poet, essayist, experimenter and even publisher, since we must in no way neglect that he was probably the last great figure in the venerable NRF - the "house of Gaston" to use his words.
Anne-Isabelle Queneau.
