Things: A Story of the Sixties | Georges Perec, David Bellos, Andrew Leak
1 post | 6 read | 14 to read
Two trailblazing novels by Georges Perec, Things: Jerome and Sylvie, the young upwardly mobile couple, lust for the good life. They wanted life's enjoyment, but this equated to ownership. A Man Asleep: A nameless student attempts to purify himself entirely of material desires and ambitions.

“It is on a day like this one, a little later, a little earlier, that you discover, without surprise, that something is wrong, that, without mincing words, you don‘t know how to live, that you will never know.”
— Georges Perec, A MAN ASLEEP
