Review
"Oulipo: A Primer of Potential Literature is an important collection of Oulipian writing.... It offers a good deal of insight into the methods behind what is too often considered their madness, as well as showing much of the personal side of those involved with the Oulipo, especially in its early years. The material should be of interest to anyone involved in writing or, indeed, in reading, as Oulipian thought is applicable to almost all written material..." --The Complete Review
