Life A User’s Manua
I was so surprised to find that Geroges Perec is a writer. I thought he would be an architecture, because he described the jigsaw game so fine. I was thinking about detective stories when reading this passage. I have read a lot detective stories and I feel they share the same process with jigsaw puzzles.
When deducting, one needs to scrutinize everything, just like pieces of jigsaw puzzles.
As Perec said, sometimes perfect match means nothing, I think it is the most exciting and encouraging thing in both detective stories and jigsaw puzzles. These games/stories give a very good training on logic, because the results are almost depend on how you think. My favorite story is Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie, really worth reading.
