About Life: A User's Manual
Perec's 1978 masterpiece — an exhaustive description of a Parisian apartment building at one moment in time, organised by a knight's-tour constraint across a 10×10 grid of rooms; structured around the English millionaire Bartlebooth's fifty-year project of painting and destroying harbour watercolours; the most fully realised Oulipo novel.
