Me acuerdo

Published in 1978 and since then a cult classic, I Remember is one of the most brilliant literary experiments in modern literature. Through 480 brief evocations that all begin with the same phrase —"I remember…"— Perec reconstructs an intimate and collective map of memory: advertisements, children's games, songs that are no longer played, lost gestures, fleeting figures from popular culture. This new translation by Eduardo Berti, a member of Oulipo and an intimate connoisseur of Perec's world, recovers all the freshness, humor, and original vibrancy of the text. And the previously unpublished prologue by Hervé Le Tellier —Goncourt Prize winner and also an Oulipo member— illuminates why this seemingly simple book has become a major work: a classic that redefines how we write, how we remember, and how we look at life.
