Three by Perec (Verba Mundi (Paperback))

”One of the most singular literary personalities in the world.”―Italo Calvino

Three works of short fiction by Georges Perec. The novella The Exeter Text contains all those e‘s that were omitted from A Void (Perec hated waste) and no other vowel. In Which Moped with Chrome-Plated Handlebars at the Back of the Yard? we meet Sergeant Henri Pollak and his vehicle that carries him between Vincennes and Montparnasse and A Gallery Portrait about a painting within a painting that became the sensation of the 1913 exhibition in Pittsburgh.
