Publisher's Synopsis
At once an affectionate portrait of mid-century Paris and a daring pointillist autobiography, Georges Perec's 'I Remember' is the last of this essential writer's major works to be translated into English. Consisting of 480 numbered statements, all beginning identically with 'I remember,' and all limited to pieces of public knowledge - brand names and folk wisdom, actors and illnesses, places and things - the book represents a secret key to the world of Perec's fiction.
