An Attempt At Exhausting A Place In Paris
''An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris'', (French: ''Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien'') is a short (roughly 60 pages) book by Georges Perec written in October 1974 and published in 1975. It is a collection of observations which Perec wrote as he sat in Saint-Sulpice Square in Paris. Rather than describing impressive or notable things such as the architecture, Perec aims to describe all the things that usually pass unnoticed. He charts brief details of buses and people who pass, not worrying about repetition. ''An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris'' was first published in the French journal ''Cause Commune'' in 1975 and as a small book in 1982 (Marc Lowenthal’s English translation was released in 2010).
