Life, a User's Manual
Life, a User's Manual | Georges Perec, David Bellos
Over twenty years ago, Godine published the first English translation of Georges Perec's masterpiece, Life A User's Manual, hailed by the Times Literary Supplement, Boston Globe, and others as "one of the great novels of the century." We are now proud to announce a newly revised twentieth-anniversary edition of this classic. Structured around a single moment in time - 8:00 PM on June 23, 1975 - Perec's spellbinding puzzle begins in an apartment block in the XVIIth arrondissement of Paris where, chapter by chapter, room by room, the extraordinarily rich life of its inhabitants is marvelously revealed.

Since this may be the only time I use exclusively owned books for #BookSpinBingo, I had to borrow @Hooked_on_books layout technique.

Leftcoastzen I‘ve been meaning to read that one for a few decades now 2y
Hooked_on_books It looks great! (I‘ll admit, I have sometimes snuck in a book image that is pasted in if I don‘t have it yet, so it‘s possible to do this without all the physical books! 🤫) 2y
DisneyFan This is awesome! 2y

Liz_M @Leftcoastzen It's size is daunting! Tall as well as thick and no ebook in either of my library systems. 😑 2y
tokorowilliamwallace Looks like a lot of quality picks and interesting subjects there. 2y

Life by Georges Perec got two editions in russian, and those were nowhere to be found. I fell in love with the author immediately after I read A Void, and now I am finally holding this third edition in my hands! Oh that wonderful feeling 🤩 One of the best birthday presents from my favourite publisher! 💛 Reading time!🥳
