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.
