First, a sociological impulse, a will to examine everyday life; second, an autobiographical current; third, a ludic bent; and finally, an inclination toward narrativity, a desire to write the kind of books that one reads flat out on one&#8217;s bed. Even a casual reader of Perec will appreciate that those categories are not airtight, and that there is quite a bit of backing-and-forthing among them in the writer&#8217;s production. Nonetheless, they make a good deal of sense when they are taken to describe general directions in Perec&#8217;s writing. Among those four principal inclinations, the first has suffered with regard to the latter three in critical considerations of Perec since his death in 1982. In\u00a0<em>M\u00e9moires du quotidien<\/em>, Derek Schilling seeks to redress that, seeking also to recontextualize Perec&#8217;s work as an important link in a sustained debate on the nature of the quotidian in the second half of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1185,"template":"","program":[10447],"class_list":["post-1184","faculty-books","type-faculty-books","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","program-french"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/modern-languages-literatures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-books\/1184"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/modern-languages-literatures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-books"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/modern-languages-literatures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faculty-books"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/modern-languages-literatures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-books\/1184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3579,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/modern-languages-literatures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-books\/1184\/revisions\/3579"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/modern-languages-literatures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/modern-languages-literatures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"program","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/modern-languages-literatures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program?post=1184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
