Species of Spaces and Other Pieces

Author(s): Georges Perec

Fiction

This generous selection of Georges Perec's non-fiction, the first to appear in English, features ingenious contemplations on the ways in which we occupy urban and domestic space, engrossing accounts of his experiences with psychoanalysis, depictions of the Paris of his childhood, thought-provoking examinations of the "infra ordinary" - the commonplace items of our lives eluding our attention - and a short story executed with a Borges-like finesse.


Species of Spaces and Other Pieces puts us in the presence of a virtuoso writer, whom Italo Calvino called "one of the most significant literary personalities in the world".
