«La vida instrucciones de uso» is the novel by Georges Perec, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (640 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is built like a giant puzzle: each chapter corresponds to a room in a Parisian house on Rue Simon-Crubellier and to the lives of its inhabitants, present and past. Through objects, memories and actions, Perec interweaves stories within the story and creates a microcosm of interconnected lives, in a work that combines fiction, erudition and narrative experimentation.
Originally published in 1978 as «La Vie mode d'emploi», it won the Prix Médicis. This Spanish edition, translated by Josep Escué, belongs to Anagrama's Compactos collection.
For readers of contemporary literature seeking an experimental, demanding and highly awarded novel with a fragmentary structure.
Georges Perec was a French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist. He was a member of the Oulipo group. His father died as a soldier early in the Second World War and his mother was killed in the Holocaust. Many of his works deal with absence, loss, and identity, often through word play.
