I've read 4 of Mathews' now (although not that one - would you
recommend?). They're enjoyable in the reading, if not very
satisfying in the ending. "The Sinking of the Odradek Stadium" I
liked best.
But, (along with "Life: A User's Manual" - and it's much less of an
undertaking), Queneau's "Zazie in the Metro" provided the most
pleasure I've had from an Oulipian author
