On parle souvent de Raymond Queneau, on en parle meme beaucoup, pour ses poemes, ses films, ses chansons (Si tu t'imagines), ses Exercices de style ou ses romans (Zazie dans le metro, Le Dimanche de la vie, Pierrot mon ami, etc.). Il est a la fois populaire et savant. Il passionne aussi bien le grand public que les amateurs, les universitaires, qui lui consacrent theses et colloques.
Jusqu'alors pourtant, aucun ouvrage ne proposait une vue d'ensemble de l'homme et de son oeuvre. Seules, des etudes thematiques mettaient en lumiere certaines facettes du talent de Raymond Queneau. Cette biographie vient donc combler une lacune. En s'appuyant sur une documentation impressionnante et souvent inedite, elle fait revivre l'homme sans le dissocier de son oeuvre, du mouvement surrealiste au secretariat general de Gallimard, du college de 'Pataphysique a l'Encyclopedie de la Pleiade. On suit ainsi l'ecrivain pas a pas, depuis sa naissance au Havre en 1903, jusqu'a son deces a Paris en 1976. Raymond Queneau, qui fut si secret, se trouve enfin devoile.Maitre de Conferences, Michel Lecureur a edite l'OEuvre romanesque de Marcel Ayme dans la Pleiade et lui a consacre une biographie aux editions Les Belles Lettres en 1997.
