Description
Life, a User's Manual Fictions by Georges Perec is a dazzling and ingeniously contrived work of 20th-century fiction. In this remarkable novel, an entire microcosm comes to life in a Paris apartment block, where every person, object, and detail is meticulously rendered. The story revolves around Serge Val-Ne, who conceives the idea of painting the inside of each apartment within the building, revealing the lives of all those he has ever known or heard about over sixty years. As the narrative unfolds, chapter by chapter, room by room, a diverse cast of characters emerges in a series of unlikely tales. From an avenging murderer to an eccentric English millionaire with his ultimate pastime devised, each tale is expertly woven into the fabric of this intricate and marvellously detailed world.
