In The Guardian Georges Perec-biographer David Bellos explains How Georges Perec's lost first novel has finally come to be published as Perec's Portrait of a Man is now coming out in English (well, in the UK; American readers will have to be patient until next year ...).
Who would have thought that Perec would be out-Bolañoing Roberto Bolaño as far as posthumous publications go, but this comes hot on the heels of the first English publication of his classic I Remember -- good times indeed for fans (and who isn't ?).
