 NEGATIVE
Like the via negativa of the medieval Christian theologians (Derrida's ostensible subject in "Comment ne pas parler") the ‘negative' autobiography of Georges Perec is not a non-autobiography, but an autobiography written under the sign of the not, the absent, the disappeared.
Georges Perec himself was sent on a Red Cross train to the safe haven of Villard-de-Lans, east of Grenoble—it would seem because of his status as an "orphelin de guerre"—or he almost certainly would have perished, as well.
One of the great strengths of the Bellos biography is the thoroughness with which he treats Perec's family background and the extended family that took him in after his immediate family disappeared.
