The author writes that this study was intended as an introduction to the work of Georges Perec and was designed to accompany a reading of his texts. Motte attempts to develop the outline of a post-modern literary career and to present a coherent exposition of Perec's poetic theory. He organized the study into the following chapters: formal constraint, autoreference, the game, description, the letter, dream and memory, and metaliterature. It includes 22 texts from 1965 to 1981. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
