==Reception== In ''[[The New York Times Book Review]]'', novelist [[Paul Auster]] wrote "Georges Perec died in 1982 at the age of 46, leaving behind a dozen books and a brilliant reputation. In the words of [[Italo Calvino]], he was 'one of the most singular literary personalities in the world, a writer who resembled absolutely no one else.' It has taken a while for us to catch on, but now that his major work β ''Life: A User's Manual'' (1978) β has at last been translated into English it will be impossible for us to think of contemporary French writing in the same way again."<ref>[[Paul Auster]], [https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE6D7153CF936A25752C1A961948260 "The Bartlebooth Follies"], ''[[The New York Times Book Review]]'', November 15, 1987.</ref>
