The only one I have read is La Disparition or A Void as it's called in English. If you don't know it has the constraint of containing no "E"s whatsoever, and yet it reads rather well, to the extent that I believe one reviewer didn't even notice that and reviewed it as a straight forward novel. Also I have to say here that I read it in English translation which is of course interesting in itself that someone (Gilbert Adair) had to render the book into English, preserving meaning AND still with not a single instance of the letter E. Just thinking about that boggles my mind.... although it also puts me in mind of a quote which I wish I could remember or find from Thomas de Quincey which anticipated Oulipo rather well which was something disparaging those who write under constraints as being akin to runners in a race who handicap themselves artificially to gain the greater garlands when they win.what's a good place to start with georges perec?
Incidentally yes.You been doing acid again?
The Great Citation Web (╯ರ ~ ರ)╯︵ ┻━┻If you are interested in this kind of thing then I would recommend Raymond Roussel - at one point I was really fascinated by a whole group of stuff that span off in all kinds of directions and rejoined itself - I suppose what I'm describing is a network or web of loads of books that I liked and then films of those books and then other films by the same film-makers and then other books that those film-makers liked that I liked too and so on and Roussel was arguably at the heart or maybe the start of all of that.
Sorta a weird list but I think they add up to an analytic-continental hybrid foundation for the social construction/reality ideaWho've you been reading?

@version have you read Harry Matthews? The way you get so deep into Pynchon, find all these meanings within meanings... I think you would have an absolute field day with The Conversions or The Sinking of the...
