More From Raymond Queneau

All Societies Are Historical.

The Odyssey Is The Story Of Someone Who, In The Course Of Diverse Experiences, Acquires A Personality Or Affirms And Recovers His Personality.

It Is The Creator Of Fiction's Point Of View; It Is The Character Who Interests Him. Sometimes He Wants To Convince The Reader That The Story He Is Telling Is As Interesting As Universal History.

It Doesn't Seem To Me That Anyone Has Discovered Much That's New Since The Iliad Or The Odyssey.

Being Or Nothing, That Is The Question. Ascending, Descending, Coming, Going, A Man Does So Much That In The End He Disappears.
