a man and his cat

 

Georges Perec was a French novelist, essayist and filmmaker.  He liked to write books using a curious wordplay - for example a novel without using the letter 'e', and another using only the vowel 'e'.

Perec had a succession of cats, all named Duchat.  This stamp is from a photo done in 1978 by Anne de Brunhof (granddaughter of Jean de Brunhof of Babar fame)

    Awww, that's a cute stamps! I had heard of the "no e" writer, but didn't know who it was. Another lesson learned through stamps!
