 not as good as the oulipo compendium, 2001-03-14

If like me you must read everything that you can about the OULIPO, and you have to read it in english, curse my backward education, then you will want to get this book. It is somewhat more academic than the compendium, containing manifestos and longer learned papers than the compendium, it also contains an illuminating plagerism algorithm dreamt up by Harry Mathews also there is some good stuff about Queneau's conbinatoric plots.

Where the OULIPO compendium ed H Mathews, is capacious and joyous full of examples and potential this tome is slight and mildly interesting.
