Hi

Having read that only in English (and thought it marvellous), I've
often wondered whether there is another layer to that book
untranslated (maybe untranslatable?).  Are there language games played
in the original?

(I rate the Perec biography, by David Bellos, too - and not only for
the fine cover portrait of GP with a cat on his shoulder)

best

James
