Jenny Odell, @nytimes bestselling author of 'How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy' and 'Saving Time: Discovering A Life Beyond The Clock' discusses Georges Perec's 'An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris,' published by @wakefield_press — A student of the "infraordinary," Perec's intention, she quotes, “was to describe … that which is generally not taken note of, that which is not noticed, that which has no importance: what happens when nothing happens other than the weather, people, cars, and clouds.” "What happens when nothing happens," she continues.
