Description:

“A work of genius in a brilliant translation by Barbara Wrightâ¦.Endlessly fascinating and very funny.” âPhilip Pullman

The plot of Exercises in Style is simple: a man gets into an argument with another passenger on a bus. However, this anecdote is told 99 more times, each in a radically different style, as a sonnet, an opera, in slang, and with many more permutations. This virtuoso set of variations is a linguistic rust-remover, and a guide to literary forms.
