The Games of Fiction

More about the book

Georges Perec's prose fiction is examined through the lens of his innovative use of games and ludic devices, which engage readers in playful interactions with his texts. The work situates Perec within the broader context of twentieth-century French ludic fiction, tracing its evolution from Roussel to the Nouveau Roman and Oulipo movements. It addresses the prominence of ludic writing in the 1960s and 1970s and explores how Perec's unique experiences shaped his literary approach, infusing game-playing with deep personal and cultural significance.
