From an essay by Perec
"There is no epoch, no condition, no crisis that the mind cannot grasp;...no situation that cannot be mastered, no phenomenon that reason and language, feeling and rationality cannot conquer. Out of the collapse of Germany came Doktor Faustus; it was on his return from a concentration camp that Robert Antelme wrote L’Espèce humaine, one of the finest books to the glory of mankind."

"I detest what’s called psychology, especially in fiction. I prefer books in which characters are described by their actions, their gestures, and their surroundings. [ . . . ] It’s something that belongs to the great tradition of realism in the English and German novel of the nineteenth century, which I’ve exaggerated a little, almost taking it to hyperrealism."

So far, a really good biography.
What a childhood, scars of WWII and Jewish identity. Never goes away. The struggles of an artist.
