Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) is acknowledged as one of the most influential of modern French writers having helped determine the shape of twentieth-century French literature especially in his role with the Oulipo a group of authors that includes Italo Calvino Georges Perec and Harry Mathews among others. Barbara Wright has translated several Raymond Queneau novels; indeed as John Updike wrote in The New Yorker she has waltzed around the floor with the Master so many times by now that she follows his quirky French as if the steps were in English. She has also translated works by Alain Robbe-Grillet Robert Pinget Nathalie Sarraute and Marguerite Duras. She lives in London.
