Toen Het leven een gebruiksaanwijzing - door Italo Calvino geroemd als 'de laatste grote gebeurtenis in de geschiedenis van de roman' - in 1978 verscheen werd het direct bekroond met de Prix Médicis. En in 1995, het jaar waarin de Nederlandse vertaling voor het eerst verscheen, werd het door de verzamelde Vlaamse en Nederlandse kritiek uitgeroepen tot het beste boek van dat jaar. De roman is een magistraal literair vlechtwerk van de bizarre le...

Seduto alla scrivania, in un caffè, in un aeroporto o in treno, cerco di ritrovare un avvenimento che non ha importanza, che sia banale, desueto, ma che, nel momento in cui lo ritrovo, scatenerà qualcosa". Georges Perec descrive così il suo progetto di autobiografia: la memoria, sollecitata da un evento qualunque, pesca negli anfratti del suo serbatoio piccoli episodi, frammenti di vita caduti nell'oblio, e l'autore li trascrive, senza comment...

One overcast weekend in October 1974, Georges Perec set out in quest of the "infraordinary": the humdrum, the non-event, the everyday--"what happens, " as he put it, "when nothing happens." His choice of locale was Place Saint-Sulpice, where, ensconced behind first one cafe window, then another, he spent three days recording everything to pass through his field of vision: the people walking by, the buses and driving-school cars caught in their...

At once an affectionate portrait of mid-century Paris and a daring pointillist autobiography, this title translates into English Georges Perec's major works. It consists of 480 numbered statements, all beginning identically with "I remember, " and all limited to pieces of public knowledge - brand names and folk wisdom, actors and illnesses.

Two trailblazing novels by Georges Perec, Things: Jerome and Sylvie, the young upwardly mobile couple, lust for the good life. They wanted life's enjoyment, but this equated to ownership. A Man Asleep: A nameless student attempts to purify himself entirely of material desires and ambitions.

Perec has rightfully assumed his position in the pantheon of truly original writers of the past century. Godine has issued all but one is his books in this country, including his masterpiece Life A User's Manual. Here, in one volume, are three "easy pieces" by the master of the verbal firecracker and Gallic wit. The novella "The Exeter Text" contains all those E's that were omitted from A Void (Perec hated waste) and no other vowel (honest). I...

Supponiamo che tu voglia chiedere un aumento al tuo capo. Prima fermati e rifletti. Poi, prendi il coraggio a due mani e vai nel suo ufficio. Potresti trovarlo alla sua scrivania oppure trovare una sedia vuota. Delle due, l'una: non c'è. Del resto neanche tu sei nel tuo ufficio. Cosa fare ? Non scoraggiarti e aspetta il suo ritorno. Ma il tuo capo potrebbe non tornare. Potrebbe essersi intossicato a mensa mangiando uova marce, o aver ingoiato ...

One of the great novels of the century. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the late 20th century has produced a novel on the level of Joyce, Proust, Mann, Kafka, and Nabokov."-Boston GlobeStructured around a single moment in time - 8:00 p.m. on June 23, 1975 - Perec's spellbinding puzzle begins in an apartment block in the XVIIth arrondissement of Paris where, chapter by chapter, room by room, like an onion being peeled, an extraordinary rich cast of ...

A long-suffering employee in a big corporation has summoned up the courage to ask for a raise. But as he runs through the looming encounter in his mind, his neuroses come to the surface: What is the best day to see the boss? What if he doesn’t offer you a seat when you go into his office? The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise is a hilarious account of an employee losing his identity—and possibly his sanity—as he tries to put on the most acce...

Portrait of a Man [Il Condottiere] dates from 1957-1960 and is the first novel Perec ever completed: it was rejected by Gallimard and Seuil back when Perec was "nobody, " so it is ironic that Seuil has brought it out now. Back in 1960, Perec put it away, as he wrote to a friend: "Will leave it where it is, for the moment at least. Will take it up again in ten years, and it will either become a masterwork or [I] will wait in my grave for a fait...

Thoughts of Sorts, one of Georges Perec's final works, was published posthumously in France in 1985. With this translation, David Bellos, Perec's preeminent translator, has completed the Godine list of Perec's great works translated into English and has provided an introduction to this master of "systematic versatility." Thoughts of Sorts is a compilation of musings and essays attempting to circumscribe, in Perec's words, "my experience of the...
