Wright says the point of Exercises in Style is that there is no point. That is, it examines the idea that sometimes there is no point in the things that happen and how we react to them. However, it can be argued that by writing the story and variations, Queneau gives a point to the pointless by using it as a springboard to make a point about the flexibility of language.
