Originally published in 1947 (in French). A twentysomething bus rider with a long, skinny neck and a goofy hat accuses another passenger of trampling his feet; he then grabs an empty seat. Later, in a park, a friend encourages the same man to reorganize the buttons on his overcoat. This determinedly pointless scenario unfolds 99 times in twice as many pages, each written in a different literary style.
