"A book describes works conceived of but not realized by its author. " Like Suicide and Autoportrait, Works is another of Eduoard Leve's bewitching reconceptions of what the novel can (or should) do. A list of 533 projects, beginning with its own description -- both likely and unlikely, sober and ridiculous; some of which Leve later realized, most of which he did not -- Works ranks with the fiction of Georges Perec for its seemingly limitless, ingenious, and comical inventiveness. A lampoon of conceptual art -- if not, indeed, an exemplar of its charms at their best -- Works is another piece in the puzzle of Leve's brief and fascinating life.
