Jouons avec l'Oulipo

Two members of the young Oulipo generation present two games produced by the group, which has put these practices into action in its literature since 1960. Frédéric Forte looks back at the relationships between Oulipian works and "non-literary" games, drawing examples from fifty years of literature subject to restrictions, from the combinatory approach of Raymond Queneau's Cent mille milliards de poèmes to his own Bristols. Chicagos, "Elementary Synonymical Morals", Porches and Dingbats are some of the Oulipian literary games presented this evening by Olivier Salon.
