Description

An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in ParisOne overcast weekend in October 1974, Georges Perec set out in quest of the "infraordinary": the humdrum, the non event, the everyday "what happens," as he put it, "when nothing happens." His choice of locale was Place Saint Sulpice, where, ensconced behind first one caf window, then another, he spent three days recording everything to pass through his field of vision: the people walking by; the buses and driving school cars caught in their routes;

One overcast weekend in October 1974, Georges Perec set out in quest of the "infraordinary": the humdrum, the non-event, the everyday--"what happens," as he put it, "when nothing happens." His choice of locale was Place Saint-Sulpice, where, ensconced behind first one caf window, then another, he spent three days recording everything to pass through his field of vision: the people walking by; the buses and driving-school cars caught in their routes; the pigeons moving suddenly en masse; a wedding (and then a funeral) at the church in the center of the square; the signs, symbols and slogans littering everything; and the darkness that finally absorbs it all. In An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris, Perec compiled a melancholic, slightly eerie and oddly touching document in which existence boils down to rhythm, writing turns into time and the line between the empirical and the surreal grows surprisingly thin.

Great and practical!
Format: Paperback
I love this and use it daily in my practice at an Urgent Care. It is easy to use and very handy, I keep in my drawer beside me and use it often. It gives everything about the drugs and the diagnoses are easy to find and listed alphabetically. Great quality and well written. Would highly recommend!

Not what I needed
Format: Paperback
I was looking for a book that could guide me through prescribing medication from the most basic conditions to the more complicated patients. This book didn’t even cover sulfur allergies. I was truly disappointed
