includes actual life diagrams. anyone else think this book is wonderful? read any other perec? doesn't his playful structuralism remind you of eco?

life diagrams?? that sounds interesting. I certainly could use some.

Yes I read it (in French). Perec is a genius he is one of the most important authors of the centaury. If you can find other books by Perec, read them!
The way Perec constructed La Vie Mode d'emploi is so brilliant.
And his other books are brilliant too.

Other suggestions : If you can read books by other Oulipo's members, read them

A lot of stuff had been written and it's a good idea to try to push the boundaries by experimenting.
