Perec, Georges - Things

Georges Perec’s cool, exacting portrait of a couple torn apart by consumer desireA young couple build their lives around the objects they long to own. From furniture to clothes to carefully imagined interiors, their desires shape their sense of who they are – and who they might become. Yet satisfaction always seems just out of reach.. Precise and quietly ironic, Things explores the promises of material life – and the emptiness that can follow.
