Description
Berge, Claude, Jouet, Jacques & Mathews, Harry Texts from the Bibliotheque Oulipienne Atlas Anti-Classics Founded in 1960 by a group of leading French writers and mathematicians, the Oulipo group still meets regularly. The groups original aim was to enquire into the possibilities of combining literature and mathematics but, as can be seen from this collection, the field of study was soon expanded to include all writing using self-imposed restrictive systems.

I bought this for the text by Jacques Jouet. He's the metro poet - writes poems between or while trains are stopped at metro stations. I didn't quite get The great-ape love song, however.
