Ce silence, cette nuit, ces rues étroites, tout disposait Pierrot à ne penser à rien de précis. Il regardait à droite, à gauche, comme pour accrocher quelque part ses petites curiosités, mais ne trouvait rien - tout au plus les enseignes, et qui ne valaient pas les billes de l'avenue de Chaillot. Il songea un instant à visiter le bobinard de cette sous-préfecture, mais il ne rencontrait personne pour le renseigner. Finalement il se perdit. Il traversait maintenant une petite banlieue ouvrière, avec des manufactures ici et là. Plus loin, Pierrot atteignit une route assez large, avec un double liséré d'arbres, peut-être nationale ? peut-être départementale ? Il marcha encore quelques instants. Il entendit tout près de lui un grand cri, un cri de femme, un cri de peur

"Impish, foul-mouthed Zazie arrives in Paris from the country to stay with her female-impersonator Uncle Gabriel. All she really wants to do is ride the metro, but finding it shut because of a strike, Zazie looks for other means of amusement and is soon caught up in a comic adventure that becomes wilder and more manic by the minute. Queneau's cult classic was made into a hugely successful film by Louis Malle in 1960. Packed full of word play and phonetic games, Zazie in the Metro remains as stylish and witty as ever."--Jacket
