I'm reading _The Conversions_ ... 50 pages in and thoroughly confused and delighted and maybe slightly annoyed. Was tempted to spend some time trying to decipher some of the odder passages, to see if I could figure out what he's doing, but I decided to just push on and see to what extend he reveals it more explicitly later. If not, well, I can always go back!

I've only read Cigarettes and CIA, keen now to check out some of his shorter writing.

i read Tlooth and then Sinking of the Odradek Stadium about 25 years ago, they both had a really big impact but I haven't read anything Oulipian in almost that long. I should revisit Tlooth especially.
