This is pure topography: plain to the point of obviousness at times, yet forever veering off into jolly idiosyncrasies of the kind that make Perec so entertainig to read." For example in "Species of Spaces," Perec describes the page, the bed, the bedroom, the apartment, the apartment buildlng, the street, the neighborhood, the town, the countryside, Europe, the world and space.Alessandro M Angelini (New York, NY) - Reviewing this book for Amazon.com writes "As the author of the world's longest palindrome and other literary feats, Perec's phenomenal linguistic skills and imagination remain incomparable.
