Perec Georges What a man!
What a Man ! est un monovocalisme en « a » : la seule voyelle autorise?e est le « a ». Ainsi Georges Perec signa sous le nom de Gargas Parac. Le re?cit se compose en trois parties : un prologue, un flash-back et un e?pilogue des aventures d’Armand d’Artagnan, « crack pas bancal, as a? la San A », qui, apre?s avoir mis a? l’ombre le hors-la-loi Andras Mac Adam pour l’assassinat d’un certain Max van Zapatta accumule les exploits jusqu’a? ce qu’un « banal anthrax nasal » le fasse passer de vie a? tre?pas. Il s’agit bien su?r, d’un jeu a? jouer avec l’auteur et a? travers duquel le lecteur teste son vocabulaire et surtout son sens de l’humour. Le texte s’accompagne d’un vaste appareil critique mis au point par Marcel Be?nabou, facilitant la compre?hension du lexique merveilleusement e?rudit de ce « verbicruciste endiable? » qu’e?tait Georges Perec.

Perec Georges Portrait Of A Man
Gaspard Winckler, master forger, is trapped in a basement studio on the outskirts of Paris, with his paymaster's blood on his hands. The motive for this murder? A perversion of artistic ambition. After a lifetime lived in the shadows, he has strayed too close to the sun. Fittingly for such an enigmatic writer, Portrait of a Man is both Perec's first novel and his last. Frustrated in his efforts to find a publisher, he put it aside, telling a friend: "I'll go back to it in ten years when it'll turn into a masterpiece, or else I'll wait in my grave until one of my faithful exegetes comes across it in an old trunk." An apt coda to one of the brightest literary careers of the twentieth century, it is - in the words of David Bellos, the "faithful exegete" who brought it to light - "connected by a hundred threads to every part of the literary universe that Perec went on to create - but it's not like anything else that he wrote".

Perec Georges A Void
Anton Vowl is missing. Ransacking his Paris flat, a group of his faithful companions trawl through his diary for any hint as to his location and, insidiously, a ghost, from Vowl's past starts to cast its malignant shadow. This virtuoso story, chock-full of plots and subplots, shows the skill of both author and translator who impart all the action without a crucial grammatical prop: the letter 'e'.

Perec Georges La Vie mode d'emploi
La Vie mode d'emploi est un livre extraordinaire, d'une importance capitale non seulement dans la creation de l'auteur, mais dans notre litterature, par son ampleur, son organisation, la richesse de ses informations, la cocasserie de ses inventions, par l'ironie qui le travaille de bout en bout sans en chasser la tendresse, par sa forme d'art enfin : un realisme baroque qui confine au burlesque. Jacqueline Piatier, Le Monde.L'ironie, tres douce, imperceptible, fantomatique, moiree, faite d'un detachement extreme, d'une meticulosite et d'une patience qui deviennent de l'amour... En resume, c'est un prodigieux livre-brocante, qu'on visite sans se presser, a la fois livre fourre-tout, livre promenade. Jacques-Pierre Amette, Le Point.Et cela donne des romans exotiques, extravagants, des crimes parfaits, des fables erudites, des catalogues, des affaires de moeurs, de sombres histoires de magie noire, des confidences de coureurs cyclistes... Jeux de miroirs et tables gigognes, entrez dans cet immeuble et vous ferez le tour du monde. Un vertige majuscule. Quand on en sort, on est leger comme une montgolfiere. Catherine David, Le Nouvel Observateur.
