semaine de la langue française | perec

"On Monday 17 March, Oulipians Jacques Roubaud , Marcel Benabou , Ian Monk and Hervé Le Tellier will join Oulipo President Paul Fournel at the Institut to discuss the newly-updated translation of Georges Perec’s Life: A User’s Manual (Vintage, 2008) with its distinguished translator David Bellos (Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Princeton, and winner of the 2005 Man Booker International Translator’s Prize)."

I can't wait! More info over at the French Institute.

PS. Now I'm going to read this thing I just found about Perec and Calvino sharing paragraphs.
