- Title
Ricordo o immaginazione: l'assenza della madre in "W ou le souvenir d'enfance" di Georges Perec.
- Authors
Adinolfi, Pierangela
- Abstract
The article discusses the book "W ou le souvenir d'enfance", by Georges Perec. The first is autobiographical, describing the author's wartime boyhood. The second tale, denser, more disturbing, more horrifying, is the allegorical story of W, a mythical island off Tierra del Fuego governed by the thrall of the Olympic "ideal," where losers are tortured and winners held in temporary idolatry.
