''Exercises in Style'' ((フランス語:Exercices de style)), written by Raymond Queneau, is a collection of 99 retellings of the same story, each in a different style. In each, the narrator gets on the "S" bus (now no. 84), witnesses an altercation between a man (a zazou) with a long neck and funny hat and another passenger, and then sees the same person two hours later at the Gare St-Lazare getting advice on adding a button to his overcoat. The literary variations recall the famous 33rd chapter of the 1512 rhetorical guide by Desiderius Erasmus, ''Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style''. ==Translations== The book has been translated into the following languages : *English by Barbara Wright (1958) *Serbian by Danilo Kiš (1964) *German by Ludwig Harig and Eugen Helmlé (1974) *Dutch by Rudy Kousbroek (1978) *Italian by Umberto Eco (1983)〔Peter E.
