Originalni opis knjige
One overcast weekend in October 1974, Georges Perec set out in quest of the „infraordinary“: the humdrum, the non-event, the everyday–„what happens,“ as he put it, „when nothing happens.“ His choice of locale was Place Saint-Sulpice, where, ensconced behind first one cafe window, then another, he spent three days recording everything to pass through his field of vision: the people walking by; the buses and driving-school cars caught in their routes; the pigeons moving suddenly en masse; a wedding (and then a funeral) at the church in the center of the square; the signs, symbols and slogans littering everything; and the darkness that finally absorbs it all. In „An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris,“ Perec compiled a melancholic, slightly eerie and oddly touching document in which existence boils down to rhythm, writing turns into time and the line between the empirical and the surreal grows surprisingly thin.
