Status Updates From Georges Perec and the Oulip...

Autant j'ai adoré les premières nouvelles, autant je n'en suis qu'au quart du livre et je m'ennuie déjà

The first few set up the lore in an engaging way, the next couple are flabbily digressive, the project is saved thereafter by a pair of wild fantasies (one narrated by a worm), before an “academic” steps up to the podium and tries to straighten out the continuity like a desperate Marvel producer. For the journey not to grow tiresome the Oulipians are gonna have to let their freak fantasies fly free.
