Brief Notes on the Art and Manner of Arranging One's Books by Georges Perec

2.0

Well this was alright. I'm giving it 2 stars cuz it was kinda boring. Some of the essays have a bit of charm, others have Perec's committed style to them, but the rest are a bit tedious even being as short as they are, a bit inane if you will. I understand that part of that is the point-a real examination and even glorification of the mundane.

I enjoyed Perec's A Void, but that was a work unto itself. These essays, being nonfiction, are nice for giving some insight into the man and his thoughts, but ultimately they aren't terrible elucidating to that end.

Clever, but generally hardly more than idle musings.
