«La Grammaire est une chanson douce» is the novel by Erik Orsenna, published by Stock in paperback (144 pages, in French).
The narrative offers a playful approach to the French language: grammar ceases to be a closed set of rules and becomes associated with song, sounds and imagination. Letters and words turn into play material, and the language is presented as a living territory that can be explored with curiosity and an attentive ear.
The original publication date is 29 August 2001; the book falls within the category of general and literary fiction.
For readers who want to approach French as a living language and for those who enjoy stories that play with language.
