A Man Asleep (1967) – Georges Perec

[Amazon.com] [FR] [DE] [UK]

Perec’s 1967 A Man Asleep was partly inspired by Melville’s short story Bartleby The story is written in the second person singular, the title is derived from Proust’s sentence “a man asleep gathers round him the flow of time.” The story is a journey to the limit of indifference.
