"Life is a mode of use" by Georges Perec (1936–1982) is a unique and significant phenomenon not only for French, but also for world literature. By its unusualness and formal complexity of construction, by the originality and ingenuity of its techniques, this work - both as an amazing project and as a striking result - leads to a rethinking of the centuries-old tradition of the novel and at the same time sums up the literary experiments of the 20th century. The novel is a complete and methodical description of the Parisian houses with the objects and people inhabiting them - consists of a skillfully constructed sequence of local “novels”, a whole series of funny and sad, ordinary and extravagant stories in which destinies are intricately intertwined and exotic adventures, minor incidents, monstrous crimes, curious cases, detective investigations are experienced , love dramas, comic coincidences, mysterious reincarnations, fatal delusions, as well as manic ideas and utopian projects. A game book, a puzzle book, a labyrinth book, a walk book, which can turn out to be an unforgettable journey around the world and a deep immersion into oneself.

Life's method of use is the last great event in the history of the novel. Italo Calvino

Rigid formal rules of construction give rise to a work distinguished by extraordinary freedom of imagination, a gigantic novel, the quintessence of the most fascinating novels, crafty and enchanting a creation that plays with chaos and order and turns all our ideas about literature upside down. Loris Cliveau

These seven hundred pages of stories, lists, dreams, passions, hatreds, carpets, engravings, clocks, basins and other tiny details are transferred to music is a polyphonic triumph of desire, aspiration, whims, obsessions, irony, exaltation and devotion. Claude Burgelin

...The novel is not just part of the huge puzzle of the world library, but one of its main parts. Bernard Manet
