The blue flowers

The Flight of Icarus is Raymond Queneau's only novel written in the form of a play: seventy-four short scenes, complete with stage directions. Consciously parodying Pirandello and Robbe-Grillet, it begins with a novelist's discovery that his principal character, Icarus by name, has vanished. This in turn, sets off a rash of other such disappearances.

'Zazie no metrô' é um romance que narra as andanças da desbocada Zazie por Paris. Vinda do interior, Zazie chega à capital para passar alguns dias, sob os cuidados do tio Gabriel, com duas obsessões na cabeça - andar de metrô e usar uma calça jeans pela primeira vez. Mas uma greve dos transportes coletivos impede a menina de fazer seu passeio subterrâneo e, para ganhar a sonhada calça jeans, ela se vê às voltas com um sujeito que não se sabe se é um tarado ou um policial.
