Product Information

Three works of short fiction by Georges Perec. One of the most singular literary personalities in the world. --Italo Calvino Georges Perec's mastery of absurdist fiction are on full display in this collection. As Richard Eder in The Los Angeles Times wrote, Perec's artistry has achieved a perfect balance between allure and imponderability. The novella The Exeter Text contains all those e's that were omitted from his novel, A Void (Perec hated waste) and no other vowel. In Which Moped with Chrome-Plated Handlebars at the Back of the Yard? we meet Sergeant Henri Pollak and his vehicle that carries him between Vincennes and Montparnasse. A Gallery Portrait is about a portrait, called A Gallery Portrait, of the Pittsburgh beer baron Hermann Raffke sitting in front of his portrait which depicts Raffke sitting in front of his portrait. Mind-bending short fiction from a 20th century master.
