One of the great novels of the century. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the late 20th century has produced a novel on the level of Joyce, Proust, Mann, Kafka, and Nabokov.Boston GlobeStructured around a single moment in time 8:00 p.m. on June 23, 1975 Perecs spellbinding puzzle begins in an apartment block in the XVIIth arrondissement of Paris where, chapter by chapter, room by room, like an onion being peeled, an extraordinary rich cast of characters is revealed in a series of tales that are bizarre, unlikely, moving, funny, or (sometimes) quite ordinary.From the confessions of a racing cyclist to the plans of an avenging murderer, from a young ethnographer obsessed with a Sumatran tribe to the death of a trapeze artist, from the fears of an excroupier to the dreams of a sex change pop star to an eccentric English millionaire who has devised the ultimate pastime, Life A Users Manual is a manual of human irony, portraying the mixed marriages of fortunes, passions and despairs, betrayals and bereavements, of hundreds of lives in Paris and around the world.But the novel is more than an extraordinary range of individual stories; it is a closely observed account of life and experience. The apartment blocks one hundred rooms are arranged in a magic square, and the book as a whole is peppered with a staggering range of literary puzzles and allusions, acrostics, problems of chess and logic, crosswords, and mathematical formula. All are there for the reader to solve.

I absolutely love this manual! It's perfect for anyone looking to reflect on their life choices and make positive changes. Every chapter gives you something to think about, and the writing is engaging. I bought two more as gifts for my friends.

Not what I expected
Honestly, I thought this was going to be more of a straightforward guide, but it’s pretty abstract. Some chapters are interesting, but others just didn’t resonate with me. If you're looking for hard advice, this may not be it.
