Thoughts of SortsPaperback, 21 August 2009

A collection of essays by an aburdist master attempting to define the ways we define our place in the world.

Georges Perec investigates his experience of the world through listmaking, orientating, classifying. This book employs all of the modes of questioning explored by his previous books, and at the same time breaks new ground of its own, ending with a question mark in typical / atypical Perec fashion.

Thoughts of Sorts, one of Georges Perec's final works, was published posthumously in France in 1985.
