Inhaltsangabe

A remarkable collection of writings by members of the group known as the Oulipo (Ouvroir de litterature potentiale), this anthology includes, among others, Italo Calvino, Harry Mathews, Georges Perec, Jacques Roubaud, and Raymond Queneau. Founded in Paris in 1960, the Oulipo views imaginative writing as an exercise dominated by the method of "constraints." While a major contribution to literary theory, and also great fun, Oulipo: A Primer of Potential Literature is perhaps most distinguished as an indispensable guide to writers.

Boris Vian (1920-1959) passa comme un meteore au milieu de notre siecle, laissant une trace eblouissante et vivace. Chantre des delires et des merveilles, alchimiste fecond du langage et des formes, messager audacieux de l'imaginaire, il nous offre des pages inspirees par la poesie des extremes, temoignant d'une volonte farouche de creer et de partager.
