Georges Perec: A Life in Words

by David Bellos

Blurb

Georges Perec: A Life in Words is an authoritative biography of Georges Perec by David Bellos, Professor of French and Comparative Literature and Director of the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication at Princeton University, who also translated Perec's major novel Life: A User's Manual from French into English. His prize-winning biography contains a full list of Perec's works. Unfortunately the first edition published in Australia contained a rather unfortunate binding error. About three-quarters of the way through, a whole section was reinserted into the book. This made the rest of the book rather unreadable. The second edition has hopefully corrected this.
The first American edition was published in 1993 by David R. Godine, Publisher.
