Required reading for anyone interested in the evolution of this modern master
Andrew Motion, Observer
As a witty attack on consumerism Things is as much a parable of the Nineties as it is a story of the Sixties
Sunday Times
Perec's first novel is a masterpiece of elegaic mockery
Financial Times
[A Man Asleep is] grimly obsessing...one turns the pages with unlikely fascination
Euan Cameron, Sunday Telegraph
Perec's fiction is a delight to all who care for real literature
Guardian
Two striking, clumsy, romantic studies in extremism
Independent
[A Man Asleep] Bleak, benighted, uncompromisingly unhappy, this is not the book to read if you already have difficulty in finding reasons for getting out of bed
Guardian
Things, Perec's first novel, is an innovative, perceptive and even moving study of corrosive consumerism
Independent
A Man Asleep is true to its subject and also readable...a remarkable achievement
Independent
