Never-before-published in English, Georges Perec's dream diary should be considered an important literary document. Recorded between 1968 and 1972, the dreams within are written in a deceptively simple prose that successfully captures the complex unpredictability of dreams. La Boutique Obscure opens up the mind of one of France's best known and enigmatic post-war authors and film makers, Georges Perec. This look into his most intimate dreams now brings a new and previously inaccessible aspect of this great writer to readers.
