S2.10 Bobigny–Pantin–Raymond Queneau

Bobigny–Pantin–Raymond Queneau is a station at the north end of line 5.  Raymond Queneau believed words were toys—tools for invention and discovery. Philosopher, writer and co-founder of Oulipo, Queneau didn’t just write novels—he rewrote the very idea of what a novel could be.  Oulipo – Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oulipo] Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oulipo]  Fnac [https://www.fnac.com/a230809/Raymond-Queneau-Cent-mille-milliards-de-poemes] Site Gallimard [https://www.gallimard.fr/catalogue/cent-mille-milliards-de-poemes/9782070104673] Radio France [https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/l-instant-poesie/cent-mille-milliards-de-poemes-de-raymond-queneau-la-poesie-en-partage-9400284]  Le petit lecteur [https://www.lepetitlecteur.fr/zazie-dans-le-metro/analyse-langage/]  EBSCO Research Starter – Oulipo [https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/literature-and-writing/oulipo-group-authors] EBSCO [https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/literature-and-writing/oulipo-group-authors]  Tetragrammaton – Creativity of Limitation [https://www.tetragrammaton.com/content/cosmicrespiration-9xrr3-nt2b2] tetragrammaton.com [https://www.tetragrammaton.com/content/cosmicrespiration-9xrr3-nt2b2]  Gilliam Writers Group – Oulipo’s Legacy [https://www.gilliamwritersgroup.com/blog/the-oulipos-legacy-using-literary-constraints-to-innovate-writing] gilliamwritersgroup.com [https://www.gilliamwritersgroup.com/blog/the-oulipos-legacy-using-literary-constraints-to-innovate-writing]  Oxford Academic – The Oulipo and Modern Thought [https://academic.oup.com/book/32423] Oxford Academic [https://academic.oup.com/book/32423]  Music: Embracing this World by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon [https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon]  Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ [https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/]  Creative Commons CC BY 4.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/]
