W, or the Memory of Childhood, by Georges Perec

astridrv's review against another edition

My first time reading Perec. Some bits were tedious, I am not going to lie, but I still really liked his writing and his precision in recounting what it does to someone to have such an unstable childhood with only unreliable narrators to recount it.

Aslında tam olarak bir şey beklediğimden değildi ama yine de çıtanın altında kaldı. Anlatısını fazlasıyla yüzeysel buldum, bir şeyler ya da çoğu şey geçiştirilmiş gibi ne bileyim. Şimdi gidip 800 sayfa savaş temalı kitap okumak zorundayım, hevesin kursağında kalması kötü bir histir kurtulmak gerekir.
