Georges Perec   (1936 -  1982) 

Olympic Oulipian   
by Steve  King 

On this day in 1982, the experimental  French writer Georges Perec died, at 
the age of forty-five. Like Italo Calvino,  Perec belonged to the "Ouvroir de 
Litterature Potentielle" group, founded in  1960; translated, this would be 
"Workshop of Potential Literature," but the  group is known internationally as 
OuLiPo, if only because of their enthusiasm  for the lipogram.
