120119: in looking at oulipo books read, i have decided to rate them again without reading but given some little bit more theory. as always the art is the art and everything else is everything else. and this works for me, possibly more before it is ‘explained’ as referring to trauma of hiding from nazis in Swiss boarding school(?)...or whatever. simply, this recount of that isolate isle ‘w’ and its cult of physical games with psychological results, is abstract, fascinating, horrific, with no needed reference or allusion to horrors of our ‘real’ world...
