Things: A Story of the ’60
A Man Asleep
by Georges Perec (1965)

Two stories of opposing youthful indulgences in futile escape from life.

by Georges Perec (1969)

Born out of self-imposed formalist grid of lipogram, a parody thriller loaded with plots and subplots, pursuits, vengeance and trails, engrossing and well-written despite the missing ‘e’ letter throughout the whole novel.

by Georges Perec (1975)

A book of two alternating texts, one an imaginary adventure story, the other consisting of autobiographic fragments of wartime childhood.

by Georges Perec (1978)

A quilt of stories of inhabitants of a Parisian apartment block, frozen in time. The layered stories are interwoven with hundreds of lives, minutiae of details, literary and historical allusions, written with self-imposed constraints.
