- Title
Perec's Unsure Text: Exploring Depression Equivocally with Un homme qui dort.
- Authors
Phillips, Matt
- Abstract
The article focuses on exploring depression through Georges Perec's "Un homme qui dort," particularly examining how the novella grapples with categorizing and confronting mental distress. Topics include the therapeutic potential of literature, Perec's text as an uncertain guide for readers facing similar situations, and the ambiguity surrounding the protagonist's experience, analyzed through close reading and discussion of narrative elements.
