First Edition
Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. First Printing of This Edition. Translated by Gilbert Adair. As his country is torn apart by social and political anarchy, A Void's protagonist, Anton Vowl, a chronic insomniac, is unaccountably found missing. Wear at edges, reading creases, sticker remnants on front cover, lightly rubbed. Size: 5 1/4" x 8 1/4". PAPERBACK.
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Winner of the Scott Moncrieff Prize for translation A mind-bending and mysterious comedy from the author of Life A User's Manual. A Void is a great linguistic adventure and a metaphysical whodunit, chock-full of plots and subplots, of trails in pursuit of trails, all displaying Georges Perec's virtuosity as a verbal magician. It is also an outrageous verbal stunt: a 300-page novel that never once employs the letter E. The year is 1968, and as France is torn apart by social and political anarchy, the noted eccentric and insomniac Anton Vowl goes missing. Ransacking his Paris flat, his best friends scour his diary for clues to his whereabouts. At first glance these pages reveal nothing but Vowl's penchant for word games, especially for "lipograms," compositions in which the use of a particular letter is suppressed. But as the friends work out Vowl's verbal puzzles, and as they investigate various leads discovered among the entries, they too disappear, one by one by one, and under the most mysterious circumstances . . . A book that only Georges Perec could have conceived, The New York Times called A Void, "a rollicking story, wildly amusing and easily accessible to all of us who don't mind slipping, sliding and being tripped."
