Narration Toward Books Zazie in the Metro

Impish, foul-mouthed Zazie arrives in Paris from the country to stay with her 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.

In 1960 Queneau's cult classic was made into a hugely successful film by Louis Malle. Packed full of word play and phonetic games, 'Zazie in the Metro' remains as stylish and witty today as it did back then.

Notice Based On Books Zazie in the Metro

You gotta love a book about a bitchy, foul-mouthed 11-year old girl, especially one from the French countryside who comes to Paris to visit the subway, only the subways are on strike, so she opens up a can of whoopez-vous ass to every Parisian her little bumply acid tongue can spit out. "Zazie" isn't a great book but I think it's great someone wrote a book about a vile little girl. I'd rather bow to her than Miley Cyrus any day.

Sometimes, Ill call a book or story cinematic. Normally, I mean it as a way to say the writing is particularly visual, like the words immediately lend themselves to being seen. For example, when I thin of Casey Pletts story Not Bleak (see: A Safe Girl to Love), I can picture the wide-open fields of the Canadian praries and the small Mennonite community, not to mention Zeke withdrawing into herself as they cross the border. But heres something else that seems cinematic, in a different sense of

I love this book. I would give it six stars if I wasn't held to the five star rating system. Maybe even seven. The comical twists and turns, Zazie's adventures, her uncle Gabriel... so entertaining, so vivid. While I read, Herge like graphics continually popped up in my mind; which makes sense considering this was made into a running comic as well as a film. Zazie is something... and while the reader assumes she's an early teen, and prone to the surly brattiness that comes with the age, I think

Hands down the cutest, funniest li'l thing I have read till now.



It is hard to read a book when you do not like the main character. At all.And what if the book is written in some sort of odd Ulysses-ish manner? Not inviting.Only two things kept me reading along: (1) the story is set in (ahhh!) Paris and (2) the book is on our list of 1001 Childrens Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up.So there. I finished it. I didnt like it. But I finished it.

Zazie Lalochère is my hero, or perhaps antihero. Both? She's a preteen-teen (her age is never stated) from the French country who gets dropped off with her uncle, Gabriel, in Paris for two days so her mother can spend time with her new boyfriend. Immediately, it's obvious that Zazie is a character. When she finds out that the metro she so desperately wants to ride is closed due to a strike, she cries, "Oo the bastards!" But the moment she wins my heart comes a few pages later when she declares
