Perec.\u003cbr\u003e Perec is considered a representative writer of late 20th-century French literature and one of the most important writers of 20th-century Europe, known for his unique experimental spirit, sensibility, and original linguistic sense.\u003cbr\u003e He loiters in front of 24 Rue de Villain, where he spent his childhood, but turns away, unable to enter the building.\u003cbr\u003e His father died in World War II when he was four, and his mother was taken to Auschwitz and died when he was six. \u003cbr\u003e24 Rue de Villain was a place filled with memories of his childhood with his parents, but it was a great trauma for Perec that most of those memories had been forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since Rue de Vilain was slated for demolition as part of the Paris urban development project, number 24, Perec's childhood home, was also destined to disappear completely within a few years.\u003cbr\u003e But despite the fact that it was not an easy place to face mentally, he returned to Rue de Vilain to start a project he called 'Places' (Les Lieux).\u003cbr\u003e Through the 'Places' project, Perec planned to select twelve places with a special connection to him and record them over a period of about twelve years, and regularly recording 'Rue des Vilains' was naturally at the core of this project. \u003cbr\u003eHe chose two of the twelve locations each month, described them, and then sealed an envelope with the manuscript and a subway ticket, movie ticket, pamphlet, etc. related to the location.\u003cbr\u003e Perec believed that because it is time that ultimately destroys memories, the act of recording familiar places and objects was a resistance against the tyranny of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Georges Perec's \"Below Ordinary Things,\" soon to be published by Green Ray, contains nine essays in different styles, including the text \"Rue de Villain.\"\u003cbr\u003e All nine texts deal with the theme of 'everyday writing', dealing with ordinary things, but in slightly different ways.\u003cbr\u003e It is no exaggeration to say that this one book contains all of the writing styles that Perec attempted during his lifetime.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e
