**********************************

Georges Perec, novelist, filmmaker and essayist, was one of the most 
inventive and original writers of the twentieth century. A fascinating 
aspect of his work is its intrinsically geographical nature. With major 
projects on space and place, Perec’s writing speaks to a variety of 
geographical, urban and architectural concerns, both in a substantive 
way, including a focus on cities, streets, homes and apartments, and in 
a methodological way, experimenting with methods of urban exploration 
and observation, classification, enumeration and taxonomy.

Georges Perec’s Geographies is the first book to offer a rounded picture 
of Perec’s geographical interests. Divided into two parts, Part I, 
Perec’s Geographies, explores the geographies within Perec’s work in 
film, literature and radio, from descriptions of streets to the spaces 
of his texts, while Part II, Perecquian Geographies, explores 
geographies in a range of material and metaphorical forms, including 
photographic essays, soundscapes, theatre, dance and writing, created by 
those directly inspired by Perec.

Georges Perec’s Geographies extends the body of Perec criticism beyond 
Literary and French Studies to disciplines including Geography, Urban 
Studies, Planning and Architecture to offer a complete and systematic 
examination of Georges Perec’s geographies. The diversity of readings 
and approaches will be of interest not only to Perec readers and fans 
but to students and researchers across these subjects. Download free:
