pretenzioso? me?

... new album has a title which is a nod to this novel. Pretentious? Lui ? Life: A User's Manual by Georges Perec . Back when I used to have a summer job in the Town Bookseller bookshop in Newbury (on the canal bridge in the town centre, here ) I recall conducting a lengthy search on behalf of a customer for this book, which I'd never previously heard of. We did eventually manage to locate...

Invisible

... blurring of boundaries – Adam Walker is a Columbia student (guess where Paul Auster went), George Perec gets a mention – no one reads airport thrillers in an Auster novel, and as you’d expect it abounds with references and allusions (I think!). I’m fairly sure I didn’t get one half of them but I’m convinced Rudolf Born bears more than a passing...

Love Crimes

As soon as you finish ’s “Invisible” you want to read it again. And not because, as sometimes with his novels — as with the novels of Georges Perec, one of a handful of other real authors mentioned in the book — you suddenly suspect, at the very end, that you haven’t properly understood a word of what has gone before. You want to reread “Invisible” because it moves quickly, easily, somehow...

Thought for the day (not necessarily part of a series)

Today's thought comes from the collection of Georges Perec's occasional writings, Species of Spaces and Other Pieces (beautifully translated by John Sturrock). It's part three of a short piece called The Countryside. Nostalgic (and false) alternative To put down roots, to rediscover or fashion your roots, to carve the place that will be yours out of space, and build, plant, appropriate,...

"The same goes for the bed"

From Georges Perec, Species of Spaces and Other Pieces (translated by John Sturrock): We generally utilize the page in the larger of its two dimensions. The same goes for the bed. The bed (or, if you prefer, the page) is a rectangular space, longer than it is wide, in which, or on which, we normally lie longways. 'Italian' beds are only to be found in fairy tales (Tom Thumb and his brothers,...

The French have done pretty well by Thompson. There's also a good Alain Corneau adaptation of A Hell of a Woman called Série noire; Georges Perec, of all people, wrote the dialogue.

Question your tea spoons

... The occasion for these thoughts is no religious epiphany, but rather a rereading of French writer Georges Perec, whose 1978 masterpiece Life: A User’s Manual was just republished in a definitive translation by David Bellos. more from Joshua Cohen at Tablet here .

Bunch your matter and count the pages.

... off my man, here's a plug for the paperback I own of Pale Fire , which may be the best book ever. Georges Perec's Species of Spaces is pretty phenomenal, as is most of his work, and this Penguin edition is an affordable introduction to one of the great Oulipo brains (and hairdos) to create language fun full of wit and smarts. I think I like Perec more than Queneau, if that...
