A review by blairmahoney
Blindness and Rage by Brian Castro

4.0

An incredibly quirky verse novel that plays around with the Oulipo writers such as Georges Perec (rendered as Georges Crepe - an anagram, of course), Italo Calvino and Raymond Queneau, amongst others, featuring a town planner from Adelaide who travels to France when he learns he is dying and joins an (anachronistic) group of writers who anonymously publish the work of dying authors. It gets stranger... I got some of the allusions and feel like I missed 75% of them, but nevertheless enjoyed it a lot.
