Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Georges Perec (1936-82) won the Prix Renaudot in 1965 for his first novel Things: A Story of the Sixties, and went on to exercise his unrivalled mastery of language in almost every imaginable kind of writing, from the apparently trivial to the deeply personal. He composed acrostics, anagrams, autobiography, criticism, crosswords, descriptions of dreams, film scripts, heterograms, lipograms, memories, palindromes, plays, poetry, radio plays, recipes, riddles, stories short and long, travel notes, univocalics, and, of course, novels. Life: A User's Manual, which draws on many of Perec's other works, appeared in 1978 after nine years in the making and was acclaimed a masterpiece to put beside Joyce's Ulysses. It won the Prix Medicis and established Perec's international reputation.
Von der hinteren Coverseite
"As a witty attack on consumerism Things is as much a parable of the Nineties as it is a story of the Sixties" Linda Brandon, Sunday Times
Things. A story of the Sixties is Perec's perfectly controlled delineation of the sad and happy plight of a young couple who "wanted life's enjoyment, but all around them enjoyment was equated with ownership". His first novel, it won the Prix Renandot and became the cult book for a generation.
"A brilliant and cynical dissection of the post-war baby-boomers" Jose Borghino, Sydney Morning Herald
A Man Asleep displays Perec's extraordinary command of ironical distance. In his disturbing and exhaustive pursuit of indifference, Perec's young student follows his experiment in non-existence with implacable logic.
"Grimly obsessing . . . one turns the pages with unlikely fascination" Euan Cameron, Sunday Telegraph
"Does write well about the infinitely tiny world of obsession" Jenny Diski, New Statesman
"On the back of Life A User's Manual as it were, the rest of Perec's fiction is finding its way out of France, to the delight of all who care for real literature" Robert Nye, Guardian
"Required reading for anyone interested in the evolution of this modern master" Andrew Motion, Observer
