This month CM Lowry is talking to author and games historian James Wallis about A Void by Georges Perec in ‘This Book I Read…’
Topics covered include:
- The excitement of creating stories within the worlds that others have designed.
- Constrained creativity, and the Oulipo literary movement.
- How games and role-play create wonderful narrative and encourage creativity.
- The challenge of books that ask a lot of the reader, yet are incredible still to refer back to – “One for your library section“.
