A Man Asleep by Georges Perec
I must confees it was rather difficult getting through this book. Perhaps it was the subject matter itself that put a damper on the read, but I found myself focused on the page numbers rather than the content
An unnamed male student living in Paris decides he no longer wants to complete his studies and withdraws from friends and society in general.
His days are spent playing solitaire and roaming the streets at night and believes he is experiencing an awakening of sorts when he is, in fact just questioning his place in the world as all us humans do from time to time.
Quotes:
You have rediscovered in your room, in the loft, hidden away in linen cupboards, the books you read when you were fifteen, Alexandre Dumas, Jules Verne, Jack London, and the piles of detective novels that you brought with you on each of your previous visits. You re-read them carefully, without skipping a line, as if you had completely forgotten them, as if you had never really read them.
Of course I’d meet up with Mr. Perec in France where I’d be interested to discuss his writing processes and how the loss of his parents impacted his writings.
My rating for A Man Asleep is a 4 out of 10.
