The absence of his filial love is the main subject in all his work. This is the reason why Georges Perec is determined to fill in the blank of the white pages of each book, using various means and technics of writing as: lipograms, linguistic games, heterograms, palindroms and many constraints. The quest of his past and the desire to resurrect the filial love points the way to his Jewish origins, where the childhood always wins against death, he manage through writing to defeat death.
