Words and Pictures, No. 7, 1996
Scope and Contents
The preface was written by Billy Chidish. David Breckon contributed a book entitled, "Transients" in which he provided photographs and captions for occupants of different rooms in a hotel at the same point in time. In this respect, he has utilized (knowingly or unknowingly) the format of George Perec's book, Life, A User's Manual. However, Perec employed solely verbal descriptions of the occupants and their dwelling spaces of a Parisian apartment house. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
