Interesting. The first private review of it that I read says it has a 70 page index. I am planning on having an extensive index as well. Other than that, the intent and approach is different than mine. Perec appears to be describing and cataloguing the human condition. A worthy project, hence the honors and accolades. My story project is a “sci-fi” story of its own that includes a magical book called Life: A Field Manual. Each of the human characters is gifted one of these magical books, and it is custom designed for that human individual. So Perec’s book and my magical book with the similar title serve a similar purpose: to guide and educate.
When my book and movie script comes out, if that ever happens, you will see the similarities between the two books, but also some significant differences.
“This is the best forum I’ve seen“
May I suggest Georges Perec's Life a User's Manual.
