Immense, buoyant, utterly revealing... Has achieved an
overwhelmingly human portrait, as vivid as it is complex, not only
of Perec but of the mechanisms, intrigues, passions and comedies of
Paris intellectual life in the sixties and seventies * Richard
Eder, Los Angeles Times *
A vast and heartening biography that gives unfashionable weight to
the subject's playfulness as a writer, for all his deep
difficulties as a man * Hugo Barnacle, Independent *
