On the Seawall
“The passionate mixture of assertion and negation in the prose pieces resonates.”
Times Literary Supplement
“Do we still have room in our lives for a livre de chevet, the kind of book we keep on our nightstands and dip into at random, when we are more likely to get all the bon mots we need from Twitter? Perros’s Paper Collage comes to us as a relic from an earlier era of reading. . . . An aphorist is a gambler; he turns out as many as he can in the hope that one in a hundred will ring true. . . . Perros is at his best when he’s creating wonderfully weird little machines for thought. He also has a sensitive spot for the hard work and isolation of writing. . . . This new volume should contribute to building his reputation abroad, not least because of its quaint, nearly unmarketable format. Tout mieux.”
