A long-suffering employee in a big corporation has summoned up the courage to ask for a raise. But as he runs through the coming encounter in his mind, his neuroses come to the surface: What's the best day to see the boss? What if he doesn't offer you a seat when you go into his office? And should you ask that tricky question about his daughter's illness? You can try to navigate these difficult decisions for yourself at www.theartofaskingyourbossforaraise.com ...  The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise is a hilarious account of an employee losing his identity--and possibly his sanity--as he tries to put on the most acceptable face for the corporate world, with its rigid hierarchies and hostility to ideas and innovation. If he follows a certain course of action, so this logic goes, he will succeed--but, in accepting these conditions, are his attempts to challenge his world of work doomed from the outset? Neurotic and pessimistic, yet endearing, comic and never less than entertaining, Perec's Woody Allen-esque underling presents an acute and penetrating vision of the world of office work, as pertinent today as it was when it was written in 1968.… (altro)

It was Perec, so: It was fun, it was exhausting, it was a delight. ( )

This is either an amazing litereary achievement or it isn’t it’s one or t’other but let’s just assume to keep things simple – for we must do our best to keep things simple – that it is a work of art where perec demonstrates a unique ability to think like a computer so far ahead of his time and let’s not forget a marvellous translation by david bellos but what if it isn’t an amazing book in which case you circumperambulate to the beginning of this review and ( )

Unlike anything I've ever read. The true title is the art and craft of approaching your head of department to submit a request for a raise. Although the book's cover says something different, this is listed in all its long-winded glory on the title page.

Weird little book. No punctuation. No capitalization. I would recommend stealing away to a comfy, quiet spot to take in this book-length sentence. Let the narrator's anxiety wash all over you. Is the boss in? Is your coworker in a good mood? What the hell is a T60? Will the office need to be quarantined to prevent an outbreak of measles!? But more importantly, how many times can I approach my boss and fail to get this raise?

It's a challenge to find a suitable place to pause and set the book down. I don't really think there is one. Trying to jump back in, even a few minutes later, is disorienting. Perec dances circles around me. Here is his experiment. A short book, presenting a problem, and working it out as if a computer were thinking things through. ( )

Un petit ouvrage très drôle, absurde et d'une logique implacable. Conforme au principe de l'Oulipo de l'écriture sous contrainte, Georges Perec se donne comme objectif littéraire de décrire un organigramme décisionnel en nous narrant les différentes situation de choix que peut rencontrer un employé cherchant à rencontrer son chef de service afin de demander une augmentation de salaire. Le plus incroyable c'est qu'à partir de cette simple base de départ, Georges Perec nous offre un texte qui captive, fait rire, et renvoi à des questionnement sur l'entreprise et les relations humaines. A chaque boucle effectuée dans l'organigramme décisionnel, Georges Perec modifie de manière subtil un mot, un adjectif. Le texte prend petit à petit de l'ampleur, de la densité et nous entraîne dans un délire kafkaïen et absurde mais pas très éloigné d'une certaine réalité de la vie dans l'entreprise. A la fin de l'ouvrage l'organigramme décisionnel est présenté, cela permet de découvrir l'ingéniosité de Perec pour réussir à atteindre son objectif, le dépasser en nous donnant un point de vue sur les rapports humains tout en nous captivant et nous faire rire. Un vrai texte littéraire écrit sans ponctuation ce qui amplifie le sentiment de dérouler sans fin l'arbre de décision qui ne fait que tourner sur lui-même. Un texte génial à découvrir. ( )
