Abstract
This essay explores Georges Perec's fascination with James Joyce and the influential role played by Ulysses in the development of his avant-gardist writing practices. While acknowledging Perec's cautious receptiveness to a number of contemporary cultural currents and the formative significance of his involvement in the Oulipo,1 the study highlights the extent of his lifelong engagement with Joyce and argues for a connection between the different but equally extreme forms of intertextuality cultivated by both writers. Focusing on the extraordinarily artful ways in which quotations from Ulysses are deployed in Life A User's Manual,2 it identifies the many and complex ways in which Perec's rule-governed intertextual system draws on and departs from Joyce's precedent.
