L'arbre des Gratiolet ou les déboires du marquis de Carabas (étude sur la famille Gratiolet dans La Vie mode d'emploi de Georges Perec)

The Gratiolet Family Tree, or the Misadventures of the Marques of Carabas Perec's "La Vie mode d'emploi" also uses the genealogical model, with the building's owners' family tree. To be read up, or down? Family saga reveals that its misfortunes go back to the founder's failure to transmit the family fortune, as in Perrault' s tale "Le Chat botté" - but for the fact that it does not end happily except perhaps through the - inherited? - creativity of the last person on the tree
