Synopsis
This literary thriller was unfinished at Perec's death in 1982 at the age of 45. The story of a missing mystery writer and his own unfinished manuscript, 53 DAYS is full of the games and parodies that are characteristic of Perec's brilliant and innovative work.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The army and the police are still patrolling the city."
Industry Reviews
"[R]eaders...will find much to delight them in this deft intellectual thriller....Perec's dazzling gamesmanship offers sophisticated pleasures...."
Henley
"Sad as it is that Perec never finished 53 DAYS, his admirers will cherish the extensive notes for their glimpses into an ingenious mind....[W]e enter the workshop of this painstaking artificer, as he juggles words and plays with structure, makes lists, notes books to consult, sets up problems to solve....It is intolerable that so original, humane and exhilarating a writer should have died so young."
