Summary
Raymond Queneau: Style Exercises
Forty years after the Croatian theatrical premiere and sixty years after the publication of the original text of Style Exercises, The Colorful Shop corrects a cultural injustice and proudly publishes the first Croatian edition of this famous work by Raymond Queneau! In addition to the translation of the original text, we also offer the reader an adapted text for the longest-running and most performed theater performance in this area, and by God, beyond! And when we add to that an inspired afterword written especially for this occasion, from the pen of Pera Kvrgić, a legendary theater champion who has been playing the play since day one, there is no end in sight to Štioc's pleasure!
At the end of this note, let us remind you that the author's stylistic exercises, which he described in Stylistic Exercises, consist of several everyday banal scenes parodied in 99 variations, or rather linguistic and poetic acrobatics. All in all: simple and ingenious.
