DESCRIPTION:
Perec died of cancer in 1982. . Georges Perec is the author of Life A User's Manual, hailed as "one of the great novels of the century" by (among others) the Times Literary Supplement and the Boston Globe. His other books include W, or The Memory of Childhood; Things: A Story of the Sixties & A Man Asleep, A Void (written--and translated--without the letter e); and 53 Days
At once an affectionate portrait of mid-century Paris and a daring pointillist autobiography, Georges Perec s I Remember is the last of this essential writer s major works to be translated into English. Published in 1978 shortly after Perec's masterpiece, Life A User's Manual, won the Médicis Prize, I Remember is not a play, a poem, or a novel, and it's not a memoir in the ordinary sense either.. Consisting of 480 numbered statements, all beginning identically with I remember, and all limited to pieces of public knowledge brand names and folk wisdom, actors and illnesses, places and things ( I remember: When parents drink, children tipple ; I remember Hermès handbags, with their tiny padlocks ; I remember myxomatosis ) the book represents a secret key to the world of Perec s fiction. As critic, translator, and Perec biographer David Bellos notes in his introduction to this edit
