Klappentext A study of the Oulipo! the Paris-based experimental collective founded in 1960! which included Calvino! Duchamp and Queneau. Zusammenfassung The youngest member of the Paris-based experimental collective Oulipo, Levin Becker tells the story of one of literature’s quirkiest movements—and the personal quest that led him to seek out like-minded writers, artists, and scientists who are obsessed with language and games, and who embrace formal constraints to achieve literature’s potential.
