On a crowded bus at midday, the narrator observes one man accusing
another of jostling him deliberately. When a seat is vacated, the
first man takes it. Later, in another part of town, the man is
spotted again, while being advised by a friend to have another
button sewn onto his overcoat. Exercises in Style retells this
apparently unremarkable tale ninety-nine times, employing a variety
of styles, ranging from sonnet to cockney to mathematical formula.
Too funny to be merely a pedantic thesis, this virtuoso set of
themes and variations is a linguistic rustremover, a guide to
literary forms and a demonstration of imagery and inventiveness.
