W, or the Memory of Childhood
From the author of Life A User's Manual comes an equally mind-bending novel: an interpretive vision of the Holocaust and a dystopian world.W or The Memory of Childhood is a narrative that reflects a great writer's effort to come to terms with his childhood during the Nazi occupation of France.Perec tells two parallel stories.

Über den Autor
Georges Perec was a French essayist, novelist, memoirist, and filmmaker. Born in Paris in 1936, the child of Polish Jews, his father died as soldier in the Second World War and his mother was killed in the Holocaust. Much of his work dealt with themes of identity, loss, absence-including his most celebrated work, Life A User's Manual.In addition to being honored by the Prix Renaudot (1965), the Prix Jean Vigo (1974), the Prix Médicis (1978), and the French postal service (2002), both an asteroid and a street in Paris were named in his honor-as well as a Google Doodle on his 80th birthday.
