The Penguin Book of Oulipo book launch. This is the first collection in English to bring together 100 pieces of “Oulipo” writing. Editor and translator Philip Terry will be joined by novelist Tony White to read and discuss selections from the book.

“There is real gold in Terry’s selection … the perfect illustration of the Oulipian balancing act of producing writing that is both wry and moving at the same time.”
Dennis Duncan, Literary Review
