Through some indefinable and mysterious mechanism we have become the stewards of a great patch of mountainside in Andalucía, south of Granada. I think the land chose us as much as the other way round, and it has since enslaved us so we devote ourselves body and soul to its loving care, in order to leave it in a better state than that in which we found it. During all my years of travelling and observing those who formed a part of the landscape, I longed to be one of them, to be one of the observed, to be rooted somewhere. That's the way it is now.

In the introduction to that (1963) edition, Queneau explains that the idea for the Exercises came to him in the 1930s, after he and his friend Michel Leiris had attended a concert at the Salle Pleyel where Bach's The Art of Fugue had been played. What particularly struck Queneau about this piece was that, although based on a rather slight theme, its variations "proliferated almost to infinity." It would be interesting, he thought, to create a similar work of literature.
From The Lily comics archives: Why are adult friendships so hard to make (and keep)? “It can be really difficult to find someone who vibes with you,” writes cartoonist @kagwheeler. Plus, she continues, “We may not have the same opportunities to make new friends that were available to us in school or at that terrible bar gig.” Read more through the link in our bio. #wapocomics
