‘I remember hula hoops.»I remember Hermes handbags, with their tiny padlocks.»I remember that Stendhal liked spinach.»I remember that I dreamed of one day having all 57 varieties of Heinz.’Both an affectionate portrait of mid-century Paris and a daring memoir, Georges Perec’s I Remember is now available for the first time in English, with an introduction by David Bellos.In 480 numbered statements, all beginning identically with ‘I remember’, Perec records a stream of individual memories of a childhood in post-war France, while posing wider questions about memory and nostalgia. As playful and puzzling as the best of his novels, I Remember is an ode to life: the ordinary, the extraordinary, and the sometimes trivial, as seen through the eyes of the irreplaceable Georges Perec.
