Georges Perec (born George Peretz) (7 March 1936 – March 1982) was a French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist.
He was a member of the Oulipo party.
His father died as a soldier early in the Second World War and his mother was killed in the Holocaust, and most of his books dealt with loneliness, loss, and identity, often through word play.
Early life
Perec, a child of Icek Judko and Cyrla (Schulewicz) Peretz, Polish Jews who immigrated to France in the 1920s, was born in a working-class district of Paris. He was a distant cousin of Yiddish writer Isaac Leib Peretz. Perec's father, who served in the French Army during WWII, died in 1940 from untreated gunfire or shrapnel wounds, and his mother was killed in the Holocaust, likely in Auschwitz shortly after 1943. Perec was taken into the custody of his paternal aunt and uncle in 1942, and they officially adopted him in 1945.
Career
Perec began writing essays and articles for La Nouvelle Revue française and Les Lettres nouvelles, both important literary journals, while researching history and sociology at the Sorbonne. Perec served in the army in 1958-59 as a paratrooper (XVIIIe Régiment des Chasseurs Paraphrasedoutput) and married Paulette Petras after being discharged. They lived in Sfax, Tunisia, where Paulette worked as a tutor, for one year (1960-1961); Things: A History of the Sixties, a young Parisian couple who also lived a year in Sfax.
Perec began working at the Neurophysiological Research Laboratory in the unit's research library, which was funded by the CNRS and attached as an archivist, a low-paid job that he continued until 1978. A few reviewers have stated that the regular handling of records and varied information may have had an effect on his literary style. Perec's study on the reassessment of academic journals under subscription was influenced by a talk by Eugene Garfield in Paris, and he was introduced by Jean Duvignaud to Marshall McLuhan. Perec's other major influence was the Oulipo, which he joined in 1967 and included Raymond Queneau, among others. Perec dedicated La Vie mode d'emploi (Life: A User's Guide) to Queneau, who died before it was announced.
In the late 60s, Perc began a career with his translator Eugen Helmle and musician Philippe Drogoz, and less than a decade later, he was filming. Bernard Queysanne co-directed his first film, Un Homme qui sait, and it received the Prix Jean Vigo in 1974. Perec has also created crossword puzzles for Le Point from 1976 to 2006.
Perec's La Vie mode d'emploi (1978) brought Perec some financial and emotional success—it won the Prix Médicis—and encouraged him to return to writing full-time. He began working on 53 Jours (53 Days), which he did not finish, at the University of Queensland, Australia, in 1981. His health worsened after returning from Australia a few weeks. He was diagnosed with lung cancer as a heavy smoker. He died in Ivry-sur-Seine at the age of 45, four days shy of his 46th birthday; his remains are on display at the Père Lachaise Cemetery's columbarium.
