Cool. Does anyone know anything about the group of writers called "oulipo"
(spelling?) that Perec belonged to? Who else was involved? I remember
reading an article in 87-88 about them; that's what made me go buy "Life: A
User's Manual". If I remember correctly, Oulipo was a French acronym which
translates in English to something about "All Possible Literatures".

TIA,
