Žmogus, kuris miega (book)

Author: Tom Wolfe

One day like this, a little earlier, a little later, you realize that something is wrong, that, to put it bluntly, you can't and will never learn how to live.

It all started (or maybe it ended?) before going to the exam. Then friends were abandoned, commitments forgotten, plans scrapped. All that was left to do was to hide from the whole world during the day, and to wander ghostly through the city streets in the darkness of the night: to become a man who sleeps.

The famous French postmodernist Georges Perec (1936-1982) in a novel written in the second person seems to paralyze time and immerses him in a dizzying dream in which internal fears, apathy and the search for meaning intertwine.
