A TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 'Lovers of word
games and literary puzzles will relish this indispensable
anthology' The Guardian 'At times, you simply have to stand back in
amazement' Daily Telegraph 'An exhilarating feat, it takes its
place as the definitive anthology in English for decades to come'
Marina Warner Brought together for the first time, here are 100
pieces of 'Oulipo' writing, celebrating the literary group who
revelled in maths problems, puzzles, trickery, wordplay and
conundrums. Featuring writers including Georges Perec, Raymond
Queneau and Italo Calvino, it includes poems, short stories, word
games and even recipes. Alongside these famous Oulipians, are
'anticipatory' wordsmiths who crafted language with unusual
constraints and literary tricks, from Jonathan Swift to Lewis
Carroll. Philip Terry's playful selection will appeal to lovers of
word games, puzzles and literary delights.
