Oulipo ( French pronunciation: [ulipo] , short for French : Ou vroir de li ttérature po tentielle ; roughly translated: "workshop of potential literature" ) is a loose gathering of (mainly) French-speaking writers and mathematicians which seeks to create works using constrained writing techniques. It was founded in 1960 by Raymond Queneau and François Le Lionnais . Other notable members have included novelists Georges Perec and Italo Calvino , poets Oskar Pastior , Jean Lescure and poet/mathematician Jacques Roubaud . The group defines the term littérature potentielle as (rough translation): "the seeking of new structures and patterns which may be used by writers in any way they enjoy." Constraints are used as a means of triggering ideas and inspiration, most notably Perec's "story-making machine", which he used in the construction of Life A User's Manual .
Oulipo
Exercises in Style ( French : Exercices de style ), written by Raymond Queneau , is a collection of 99 retellings of the same story, each in a different style. In each, the narrator gets on the "S" bus (now no. 84), witnesses an altercation between a man (a zazou ) with a long neck and funny hat and another passenger, and then sees the same person two hours later at the Gare St-Lazare getting advice on adding a button to his overcoat. The literary variations recall the famous 33rd chapter of the 1512 rhetorical guide by Desiderius Erasmus , Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style . [ edit ] Translations The book has been translated into the following languages :

Life A User's Manual
Life A User's Manual (the original title is La Vie mode d'emploi ) is Georges Perec 's most famous novel , published in 1978, first translated into English by David Bellos in 1987. Its title page describes it as "novels", in the plural, the reasons for which become apparent on reading. Some critics have cited the work as an example of postmodern fiction, though Perec himself preferred to avoid labels and his only long term affiliation with any movement was with the Oulipo or OUvroir de LIttérature POtentielle . La Vie mode d'emploi is an immensely complex and rich work; a tapestry of interwoven stories and ideas as well as literary and historical allusions, based on the lives of the inhabitants of a fictitious Parisian apartment block, 11 Rue Simon-Crubellier (no such street exists, although the quadrangle Perec claims Simon-Crubellier cuts through does exist in Paris XVII ).
A Void
A Void , translated from the original French La Disparition (literally, "The Disappearance"), is a 300-page French lipogrammatic novel , written in 1969 by Georges Perec , entirely without using the letter e (except for the author's name), following Oulipo constraints. [ edit ] Translations It was translated into English by Gilbert Adair , with the title A Void , for which he won the Scott Moncrieff Prize in 1995. [ 1 ] Three other unpublished English translations are titled A Vanishing by Ian Monk, Vanish'd! by John Lee, and Omissions by Julian West. The book has also been translated into German (by Eugen Helmlé as Anton Voyls Fortgang , 1986), Spanish ( El secuestro , 1997), Turkish (by Cemal Yardımcı as Kayboluş , 2006), Swedish (by Sture Pyk as Försvinna , 2000), Russian (by Valeriy Kislow as Исчезание [Ischezanie] , 2005) and Dutch (by Guido van de Wiel as ' t Manco , 2009) and Romanian (Serban Foarta as Disparitia , editura Art, 2010).

STATELY, PLUMP BUCK MULLIGAN CAME FROM THE STAIRHEAD, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressing gown, ungirdled, was sustained gently-behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: -- Introibo ad altare Dei.
