«El secuestro» is the novel by French writer Georges Perec published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (280 pages, in Spanish).
A lipogrammatic novel, as the French original omits the letter «e». It narrates the disappearance of Tonio Vocel and his friends' attempts to interpret clues that mislead the police; a curse seems to govern the story and, despite the gravity, humor permeates the narrative, inviting the reader to solve the enigma.
The translation from French is by Marisol Arbués, Mercè Burrel, Marc Parayre, Hermes Salceda and Regina Vega; the original title is «La disparition». It is part of the Panorama de Narrativas collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking formal experimentation and literary games.
Georges Perec was a French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist. He was a member of the Oulipo group. His father died as a soldier early in the Second World War and his mother was killed in the Holocaust. Many of his works deal with absence, loss, and identity, often through word play.
