In 'Les choses', Georges Perec describes the daily life of a young middle-class couple in the sixties, exploring their search for happiness through the possession of objects. The novel examines how this search becomes a form of servitude, where happiness becomes unattainable due to its dependence on the material. Perec uses a unique narrative style to analyze consumer society and its impact on people's lives.
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.
