Anthology of prose, poetry and literary critcism. "OULIPO COMPENDIUM is a late 20th-century kabala, a labyrinth of literary secrets that will lure the uninitiated into rethinking everything they know about books and writing. The editors have done an astounding job putting together this nutty, one-of-a-kind book. It is the definitive encyclopedia of contemporary word-magic" — Paul Auster. "Oulipo was—is—a seedbed, a grimace, a carnival. This is an indispensable book for everyone who cares about literature"—Susan Sontag. The OULIPO COMPENDIUM abounds in material for writers, teachers and scholars; it also offers a cornucopia of entertainment for curious readers. " rats who build the labyrinth from which they plan to escape" — Raymond Queneau.
