Historian Claire Zalc presents “Sur les lieux de Georges Perec,” a four-part documentary podcast she created for France Culture that traces chapters in the life of French author Georges Perec. This fascinating historical and literary adventure is told through four places that held special meaning in Perec’s life : la rue Vilin in the Belleville neighborhood of Paris where he grew up ; the Moulin d’Andé in Normandy, a literary community where he wrote and fell in love ; Ellis Island, associated for him with exile and his Jewish identity ; and Lubartów in Poland, the birthplace of his father he barely knew. Zalc’s poignant, expertly researched radio history explores Perec’s life and writings against a larger history of family ties, immigration, and persecution, drawing on archives, oral testimonies, readings, and visits to these special places in Perec’s life.
Zalc will share and discuss several excerpts of “Sur les Lieux de Georges Perec” and reflect on the unique opportunities and challenges of telling history through an aural documentary rather than a book — using words, voices, sounds, and music.
