Thoughts of Sorts, one of Georges Perec's final works, was
published posthumously in France in 1985. With this translation,
David Bellos, Perec's preeminent translator, has completed the
Godine list of Perec's great works translated into English and has
provided an introduction to this master of "systematic
versatility." Thoughts of Sorts is a compilation of musings and
essays attempting to circumscribe, in Perec's words, "my experience
of the world not in terms of the reflections it casts in distant
places, but at its actual point of breaking surface." Perec
investigates the ways by which we define our place in the world,
reveling in listmaking, orientating, classifying. This book employs
all of the modes of questioning explored by his previous books, and
at the same time breaks new ground of its own, ending with a
question mark in typical/atypical Perec fashion.
