Reviews
Constructed out of short vignettes full of puns, references, and epigrammatic phrasing, [Interior] displays [Thomas] Clerc's glorious confidence that anything can be the stuff of literature . . . This wonderfully translated, thought-provoking work questions what defines a person, the relationships we have with the objects that define our routines, and what literature can be. --Alexander Moran, Booklist At heart, Interior is a tour of the author's apartment, animated with a comic level of detail and consideration . . . Like Samuel Beckett's fiction, [it] comes alive through its narrator . . . --The Millions Dizzyingly indulgent, solipsistic, and self-assured . . . The agoraphobic delight is palpable. --Audrey Deng, Columbia Journal Full of humor and brainy mischief . . . [A] melange of acuity and silliness, of pseudo-sociology and OTT TMI. --Kirkus Reviews The well-named Clerc records everything . . . Interior is a design book. Nothing at all to do with the pretty pictures that run through glossy decor magazines, but rather with the discipline that sees in every trinket or detail a theoretical signifier. --Clement Ghys, Liberation
