Reading Response

Week Two
Exercises in Style — Raymond Queneau

This translation of Queneau’s “Exercises in Style” retells the same story with changes in narration that end up warping the narrative. I did this reading early enough that I had time to sit on it before responding and it made me wonder...

• Is this purposeful bias helpful to a designer when creating a piece (like Queneau retelling the same story)?
• or is the design the story itself and the viewers experiences with it is what decides the adjectives?
