Résumé:
Celebrated as the man who wrote an entire novel without using the letter 'e', and another in the form of a vast jigsaw puzzle, Georges Perec found humour - and pathos - in the human need for arrangement and classification. The essays in Thoughts of Sorts explore the rules by which we find a place in the world. Is thinking a kind of sorting? Is sorting a kind of thought?

Résumé:
In 1979, Georges Perec (1936–1982) wrote a brief entertainment called The Winter Journey for a publisher’s catalogue. It quickly became his most frequently reprinted short story. Set on the eve of World War II, it recounts the discovery of a great literary masterpiece that conceals a scandalous secret at the heart of the whole of modern French literature. Every aspect of literary history will have to be rewritten. However, the War intervenes, and the work is lost forever. The present volume includes and then extends this brief parable, which turns out to be so resonant with possibilities. The result is a novel of digressions, gradual elaboration and bizarre forays into the totally unexpected.
