«Ejercicios de estilo» is the experimental work by Raymond Queneau, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The book starts from a trivial anecdote and recreates it in 99 variations that change the register, point of view, syntax or rhetorical form. Queneau turns style into narrative material and shows that the way of telling transforms any story; this edition adds a hundredth exercise and an introductory study by Antonio Fernández Ferrer.
The work belongs to the collection «Crítica y estudios literarios» and its French original was published in 1947 as «Exercices de style».
Recommended for students of literary theory and writing, and for readers interested in formal experimentation with language.
