Written in alternating chapters, W or the Memory of Childhood,
tells two parallel tales, in two parts. One is a story created in
childhood and about childhood. The other story is about two people
called Gaspard Winckler: one an eight-year-old deaf-mute lost in a
shipwreck, the other a man despatched to search for him, who
discovers W, an island state based on the rules of sport. As the
two tales move in and out of focus, the disturbing truth about the
island of W reveals itself. Perec combines fiction and
autobiography in unprecedented ways, allowing no easy escape from
these stories, or from history.
