Georges Perec's cool, exacting portrait of a couple torn apart by consumer desire
A young couple build their lives around the objects they long to own. From furniture to clothes to carefully imagined interiors, their desires shape their sense of who they are - and who they might become. Yet satisfaction always seems just out of reach.. Precise and quietly ironic, Things explores the promises of material life - and the emptiness that can follow.
