Fascinating. I'm just learning about Georges Perec and this is an illuminating introduction.

Recently read his first novel (Things: A Story of the Sixties) and it’s clear he’s a phenomenal writer. Can’t wait to read A Man Asleep and of course, Life: A User’s Manual. Great video as always (:

In lockdown it sits unfinished as it has for a long time. I will reread to the end and hand on to another. :) Best of luck.

Love Perec and this novel is fantastic.
I feel like literature today is nowhere near as creative, original, playful and intelligent.
