Description
The French novelist Georges Perec has continually captured the American imagination, most recently with the publication of A Void , a novel written without the letter “e.” Ellis Island holds us in thrall once again. With poetic grace, insistent questioning, and a stunning carousel of images, Perec and filmmaker Robert Bober open our eyes to the intriguing blend of permanence and transience that is Ellis Island.
