Industry Reviews
"[R]eaders...will find much to delight them in this deft intellectual thriller....Perec's dazzling gamesmanship offers sophisticated pleasures...."
Henley

"Sad as it is that Perec never finished 53 DAYS, his admirers will cherish the extensive notes for their glimpses into an ingenious mind....[W]e enter the workshop of this painstaking artificer, as he juggles words and plays with structure, makes lists, notes books to consult, sets up problems to solve....It is intolerable that so original, humane and exhilarating a writer should have died so young."
Dirda
