Las cosas is a novel by French writer Georges Perec, originally published in 1965. The story follows Jérôme and Sylvie, a young couple who work conducting surveys for advertising companies and dream of a life full of exquisite and elegant objects, despite living in a small apartment and having economic difficulties. The novel is a sharp and ironic X-ray of consumer society and the mystification of comfort, showing how things can subjugate people and lead them to alienation.
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.
