• Resumen

  • Perec in 1966, a year after having published Things: a Story of the Sixties, wrote that he was "living in [his] own manner the Flaubertian conflict between romanticism and realism". One of the major points where this conflict appears is in Flaubert's deflationary but wistful treatment of the sublime; this tension can be found again organising Perec's novels into an itinerary from Things to Life: a User's Manual, from showing the impossibility of the sublime except in a degraded form — corresponding to Marcu- se's idea of contemporary "desublimation" in the Freudian sense — to a complex and nuanced admission of the aesthetic sublime as necessary and possible.
