		<description><![CDATA[by Georges Perec (1969)

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>
