GEORGES PEREC - W, OR THE MEMORY OF A CHILDHOOD

Image: author photo

A pairing of 1) uncertain childhood memories and 2) an allegory of a brutal island dedicated to sport. Nazi Germany is at the heart of this thing. The reader is left to make their own connections, a literary mode I appreciate. If the story is an archive, it is an archive of oddments. A resonant read for anyone interested in the workings of memory. A weird read for just about anyone. Read, April 2020.
