A Man Asleep is a novel by French writer Georges Perec, published in 1967. The story follows a 25-year-old student who abandons his studies and isolates himself from the world, sinking into apathy and indifference. Through a second-person narrative, the reader experiences the protagonist's progressive disconnection from reality, exploring themes such as loneliness, alienation, and the search for meaning in life.
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.
