The cult novel by Georges Perec (1936–1982) is not only a detective plot, adventurous adventures and strange disappearances of characters. This is not only the story of Revenge, which looms menacingly over the entire Clan and mercilessly exterminates all its members. This is not only the power of the Curse that dominates the speech of executioners and victims. There is a gigantic metaphor of loss revealed here; a fantastic story is woven about something that has no name, an inquisitive retelling of something that cannot be described and is scary to even think about. A daring challenge to tradition, a scandalous triumph of reception and immersion in a dizzying game with words, language and literature.
