İmge Kitabevi Yayınları Manual of Living

A work that has been designed for ten years, written in two years, perhaps to be read in one day in a breath, perhaps not to be digested in a week, a work in which everyone can find what they want, the user manual of life is an irregular large order or an extremely orderly irregularity - that is, life itself - it is quite difficult to classify in terms of literary genres. descriptions, ordinary stories, extraordinary fates, catalogues, wisdom-filled exotic events, perfectly designed murders, dark dark spells, a miraculous old book, a travel book, a comprehensive dictionary, an irony in which affection is never missing... this book, which perec has stuffed everything into, is a great puzzle! a baroque realism that goes on with coarse laughter!

The lives of tenants and owners spread across the girders in paris are told in this novel, piece by piece, floor by floor, sometimes in detail, alongside a pile of unnecessary things, and with their true stories. even a service staircase and an elevator have their own history in this novel. all of these elements form a puzzle, but a puzzle can never be understood by examining its individual components, and the pieces themselves offer no insight into the ultimate purpose of the puzzle. is there truly only one possible place for each piece? perec, despite being a writer with his own calculations and rules, never fails to engage the reader!

Stepping into this building, where a stunning, extraordinary contemporary novel is woven in a conscious, systematic way, is like traveling the world! you may feel dizzy, but when the novel is finished, you will feel very light.
