ContientLe voyage d'hiver & ses suites par Georges Perec (indirect) Le voyage d'hiver par Georges Perec (indirect)
The Oulipo's members have included luminaries of the calibre of Italo Calvino, Marcel Duchamp and Georges Perec. In 1979 Georges Perec wrote a brief entertainment for a publisher's catalogue: The Winter Journey. It became his most reprinted text, and revealed an extraordinary literary discovery, a secret concealed at the heart of modern French literature. Following Perec's death, the group began writing sequels to this tale, and gradually this became a sort of initiation to the group: new members were encouraged to write a Winter Journey'. And so a loose narrative was born.' Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Broadly, the stories fall into a few types - those which elaborate on Perec's initial story; those which, more independently, further its underlying theme; those which are more about Perec's writing of the story; and those about the whole phenomenon of its existance. Some of those are more interesting than others.
It rather felt like being at a (fairly long) dinner party where everyone else knows each other much better than you know anybody. You occasionally get their jokes or allusions, but you get the feeling that much is going over your head. As such, particularly as the book wore on, and the stories tended to the more 'meta', it felt like more and more of a chore. I think the footnotes could have helped explain some of the references, but maybe that would have spoiled the joke.
As a sidenote, I did enjoy Étienne Lécroart's story, where the references were to classic bande desinée stories, complete with a few cute illustrations.
