Three by Perec: Which Moped with Chrome-Plated Handlebars at the Back of the Yard?

More about the book

Georges Perec showcases his unique literary style in this collection of three novellas, highlighting his playful use of language and inventive storytelling. "The Exeter Text" cleverly omits all vowels except E, while "Which Moped with Chrome-Plated Handlebars at the Back of the Yard?" follows Sergeant Henri Pollak on his moped adventures. In "A Gallery Portrait," the narrative captures the essence of a 1913 Pittsburgh exhibition through the eyes of beer baron Hermann Raffke, creating a layered exploration of art and identity.
