Homage to Georges Perec novel “A Void”. Some pretend reviews
I made up with no letter “e”.
( Note: The letter “e” is certainly not in the least redundant or useless in
English being the most frequent letter in everyday reading matter, such as novels,
magazines, poetry, newspapers, science articles, etcetera, however, it is surely
quite entertaining to contemplate a written passage, sentence, question or
anecdotes that have no “e” in whatsoever! The evidence for widespread
employment of the letter “e” is overwhelming indeed! I hope your desire for
enlightenment is to be discovered yet once more and you get a few chuckles from
this attempt at a homage to the wonderful Georges Perec. Let the pretend
reviews of the novel “A Void” commence… )
A joy to my cat !
Toad and frog find it amazing !
Why did I think it was so lovingly found upon my pillow ? God only knows !
This book is my fav book of all books in my cupboard.
An amazing and fun book to think about.
I could think about it again if I had a will of mind that might work
This man who actually put ink to words on book has thought of a book to bright
up my days and so many folk will nap happy during night although it has rain on
occasions
You should buy it now
I wish it was classic food in midst of all minds
So much fun in so tiny amount of room
Dayvan Cowboy by Boards of Canada is a good comparison for flavour of this book
It warms pants off bottom part of my body and my foot swings in rhythm and
sympathy
Around all nooks and cranny of our world you will find a
similar cry of yay yay for this cunning book !
My pals all told my brain softly this book would spark off fantastic mystical
trips of cloudy imaginings and okay, aha, right on, bang on, many thanks to this
author J
Music do good things for your mind and so do good books, this
is as if six books for cost of two books Good fun, buy now quickly, as soon as
you can.
Point of fact: this book is nothing short of a brilliant
story about amusing goings ons.
This book is a trusty companion for ordinary car trips and
if going by train you should own four that is also for your many pals who will
accompany you. Many good thoughts in this book. A must buy.
I couldn’t find a word or paragraph to thoroughly suit this magnum opus.
Congratulations !
My lizard at back of bathroom is sitting on this book. Soon I will want it
again. So off you go lizard!
I want my book back now!
On cold days this book lights up warmth in your body. It is
highly thought of for many flights of fancy that you can find by flicking
through from start to finish.
Mostly amusing, droll in parts, funny in many parts, round about now I would
say it rocks !
I couldn’t put it down. So many ribs in my body with vibrato I laugh and laugh
with no control.
Many books can pass your mind as you focus on day to day tasks. This was not
such a book. It had my full and unanimous synaptic synchrony so I could not do
anything apart from word to word, paragraph by paragraph, from this thought to
that thought, follow this book from front to back.
I am a class instructor and always say to my kids this book will haunt your
mind in a good way.
“It flows as a brook from plant growths to rocky outcrops” as said famous William
Wordsworth.
In my silly and idiosyncratic fashion I want to talk about
this fascinating book as I am looking at it right now and also say a bit about my
odd family so I shall start now…
I am sitting comfortably on a plastic barstool with my lackadaisical goldfish
swimming around its liquid surroundings with fluffy moss lightly touching this
dirty glass bowl and soon our adoring, purring cat is waking up from a long nap,
and our dog is barking and woofing as usual, and our studious and dutiful mum
and charming good old dad around this “wood oval thing” as I usually call it, laughing
at our mutually ridiculous situation, I try not to goofball too much, and hold
onto my dignity, and by and by, for this, first food of day, I slowly swallow
chunks of hot yummy toast with warm apricot jam and sip cool coca cola and all
during this usual activity I casually look at this book with clarity and
cautious optimism and I grin a lot, for it is not arduous at all, my nostrils
flaring with anticipation, and I brush my slightly long chin and facial hair
away from my mouth to avoid crumbs from spilling on top of it, trying not to distract
my thoughts away to various crucial tasks that should also occupy my stamina
and waking hours of advancing morning, but strong sunlight through shiny window
is surprisingly stifling and muggy hot for spring so I stay sitting in my chair
nibbling crusts of toast, and doing what I want, which is gradually making my
way through this sad, almost sorrowful but still absorbing and captivating and
thankfully occasionally funny and hilarious story.
I’m sorry, today my mood is not so good or arrogant. I want to outsmart my unfair family who say abruptly
“you don’t know a trick that could kill you” so I must play tiddly winks with
gusto and aim to win at all cost. At conclusion of this parlour activity I can
sigh victoriously for without a doubt I won round and fair. Why don’t you try your hand with us at
Backgammon or Go if you still drunk with victory air? It’s not that fair. I am all
of human history tiddly winks primo conductor and obviously world champion and
this I cannot fathom. So I hastily gulp light
brown alcoholic liquid in my glass to bottom, not spilling a drop and my
spirits automatically flow with radiant pinkish flush to my skin. I turn my thoughts to a classic book known as
“A void” that is famous for living without a particular typological symbol …
surprisingly, various voluntary linguistic constraints imply I cannot truly say
or shout out this symbol … and as I am now totally worn out and my luck has
probably run out and my brain is going to cloudy mush … and so taking a longish
vacation or holiday as usually said in Britain is now a good thought for my
mind body and spirit. At last, hip hip
hooray, for my family finally saw a sad clown in my mind so my family did a
mindful u-turn and justly said “okay not
guilty, no kill you today” and grin a bit at my stupid and amusing antics.
Well I hope these pretend reviews garnered some guffaws J
