《W——我私人的奥斯威辛》【内容简介】
“我没有童年回忆。另一段历史，那段大历史，举着它巨大的斧头，已经替我回答了这个问题：战争、集中营。”
童年是一片空白。战争在佩雷克的生命中凿出一块无法忽略的缺口。但在这本书里，他拼凑着从虚无中夺来的生命碎片，试图抢救出对父母的回忆。
W是一座虚构的岛屿。在被奥林匹克理想统治的W上，能不能吃上饭、将拥有什么名字、会不会被打死—一切基本生活都取决于竞技的结果。居民的命运完全随机，裁判可以任意改变规则。在这里，活着是一种恩赐而非权利。
一个是关乎童年的故事，一个是童年创作的故事，两个文本交叉重叠，在那之间的空缺、折损、断裂之处，悬着一段属于个人也属于集体的残酷历史……
作者简介
GeorgesPerec（1936—1982）法国当代先锋小说家，波兰犹太裔，乌力波（Oulipo，即潜在文学工场）核心成员之一。因为在巴黎出生，也在巴黎过世，其作品常常脱离不了对巴黎城市空间的探索，以任意交叉、错结的情节和独特的叙事风格见长，充满各种语言游戏，挑战写作极限，被意大利作家卡尔维诺誉为“超越性小说”的代表作家。除本书外，主要作品还包括《物》《空间类别》《沉睡的人》《庭院深处，是哪辆镀铬把手的小自行车？》等。2017年，其作品入选法国文学界最高荣誉的“七星文库”。
"W -- My Personal Oswithing" [Content Introduction]
"I have no childhood memories. Another history, that big history, with its great axe, has answered the question for me: the war, the concentration camps."
Childhood is a blank. The war had gapped a hole in Perek's life that could not be ignored. But in this book, he pieced together the fragments of life snatched from nothingness and tried to salvage the memories of his parents.
W is a fictional island. In W, ruled by the Olympic ideal, whether you can eat, what name you will have, whether you will be killed - everything depends on the outcome of the competition. The fate of the inhabitants is completely random, and the judges can change the rules at will. Here, being alive is a gift, not a right.
One is a story about childhood, the other is a story about childhood creation, the two texts overlap, and in the gap between them, the loss, the fracture, hanging a cruel history belonging to the individual and the collective...
About the author
GeorgesPerec (1936-1982) is a French contemporary avantgarde novelist, Polish-Jewish, one of the core members of Oulipo (Potential Literary Workshop). Because he was born and died in Paris, his works are often inseparable from the exploration of Paris urban space, with arbitrary crossover, wrong knot plot and unique narrative style, full of various language games, challenging the limits of writing, by the Italian writer Calvino as "transcendence novel" representative writer. In addition to this book, major works include "Things", "Space Categories", "Sleeping People" and "Deep in the courtyard, which little bicycle with chrome handlebars?" Let's wait. In 2017, his work was selected for the "Seven-Star Library", France's highest literary honor.
