Um dos lados bons de ler um livro inacabado é conhecer mais sobre como o autor compunha suas obras. Por isso é interessante que grande parte desse livro seja composto das anotações de Perec. Em 53 dias, o narrador, um professor de matemática em um liceu em uma ex-colônia francesa na África, recebe um manuscrito de Robert Serval, um escritor de romances policiais que está desaparecido. Segundo as últimas declarações do escritor ao cônsul francês, ele sabia que estava em perigo, o manuscrito seria a chave do mistério, assim como o professor seria um velho conhecido de escola. Perdido no livro e entre os livros que o inspiraram, o narrador procura alusões, personagens e lugares tirados na vida real, ligações que expliquem o desaparecimento. A segunda parte do romance se chamaria "Un R est un M qui se P le L de la R", referência à famosa definição de romance de Stendhal, "Un Roman est un Miroir qui se Promène le Long de la Route", um romance é um espelho que passeia pela estrada, como 53 dias é o tempo que ele levou para ditar A Cartuxa de Parma. 53 jours ' est le roman auquel Georges Perec travaillait au moment de sa mort, survenue le 3 mars 1982. Le livre est publié ici intégralement, dans une édition établie par Harry Mathews et Jacques Roubaud. Il comprend, d'une part, ce que Georges Perec avait déjà rédigé et qui recouvre onze des vingt-huit chapitres prévus ; d'autre part, un abondant dossier de notes et de brouillons laissés par l'auteur, permettant le déchiffrement du reste du livre. Il a par ailleurs été prélevé dans les notes concernant les dix-sept derniers chapitres celles qui étaient susceptibles de permettre aux lecteurs passionnés par la narration de reconstituer l'ensemble de l'histoire. Perec's literary output was as varied as anyone's, comprising everything from encyclopedic novels to comic couplets, but he was consistent in one way--the quality of his writing was always excellent. Each of his works revelled in the myriad delights of language, whatever its subject. In this novel, published posthumously in an unfinished form, he uses the generic elements of the mystery novel, confounding and fulfilling them at the same time. A writer disappears from a fictional French African colony, and an unwilling acquaintance is drafted to study the vanished man's final manuscript for clues. The usual dangerous woman makes an appearance, and there are plenty of veiled warnings that the search should be dropped, but at each turn the narrator, well-versed in fictive custom, recognizes the conventions and turns them on their heads. The chapters abound with references to other works, classics and potboilers alike, and the plot in fact begins to hinge on them. Perec scholars or fans will additionally note a host of allusions to his own oeuvre and coded biographical details. Mystery aficionados will be disappointed that "53 Days" was never completed, but its editors have included the outlines and notes that wrap the story up; anyone with an interest in the writing process should find that these appendices more than make up for what's missing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Georges Perec, the celebrated author of Life A User's Manual (Godine, 1987), was working on this "literary thriller" at the time of his death. He had completed only 11 chapters of a planned 28, but left extensive drafts and notes supplying the rest of the mystery, as well as numerous twists and subplots. From these, Harry Mathews and Jacques Roubaud have assembled the elements of the unfinished mystery, along the way providing a fascinating view into the author's mind as he fashioned his literary conundrum.Absorbing, allusive, and joyously playful, "53 Days" is the ultimate detective story. The narrator, a teacher in a tropical French colony, is trying to track down the famous crime-writer Robert Serval, who has mysteriously disappeared. Serval has left behind the manuscript of his last, unfinished novel, which may contain clues to his fate. From this beginning, Perec lures the reader into a labyrinth of mirror-stories whose solutions can only be glimpsed before they in turn recede around the corner.In the tradition of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, Perec's "53 Days" is a supremely satisfying, engrossing, and truly original mystery. Like his previous work, it is also "a kaleidoscope of ingenious juxtapositions" (Le Monde) from one of the century's most inventive and important writers.

Si on peut regretter que cet ultime projet d’ovni littéraire n’ait pu être conduit jusqu’à son terme, c’est pourtant le caractère inachevé de l’œuvre qui donne lieu à la publication des notes de l’auteur, témoins d’un fabuleux atelier de construction intellectuelle et littéraire. ( )
