One math-professor-turned-member of this movement wrote a pastiche of the English detective novel genre with his  Hortense trilogy and penned the prose masterpiece The Great Fire of London. Another author from this movement wrote  a story whose narrator sees an argument on the S bus, then hears one of the arguers get told that he's missing a button, a  story repeated 98 more times in the collection Exercises in Style. That author, a member of this movement, wrote about a girl who escapes the watchful eye of her gay Uncle Gabriel to explore Paris in a novel adapted into a 1960 film. Another  novelist from this movement wrote about the creation, assembly, and erasure of 500 jigsaw-puzzle seascapes by  Bartlebooth and went 300 pages without using the (*) letter "e" in his novel A Void. For 10 points, the works Zazie in the Metro and Life: A User's Manual, by Raymond Queneau and Georges Perec, are from what whacky French literary movement?
