4.0 out of 5 stars Big, complete, but readable, May 24, 2000

Ben Singleton "Cruscotto" (Florence, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Georges Perec: A Life in Words : A Biography (Hardcover)

Bellos' big, exhaustive raccount of the life and works of one of France's most contreversial modern writers is a thorough insight, both into the family background, the struggles of a writer trying to make a living, and the works themselves. Perecs' books, peppered with clues, quizzes and games, are reinterpreted, giving the reader a new incentive to go back to the texts to more fully understand the author, as essentially a "normal" man.
