Response to George Perce's "Life A User's Manual"

After reading the preface for this week's reading, I was expecting the actual text of Bartlebooth's Story to be much more random and complicated. From the description of Perce's method I did not always understand how the story would all add up together considering the movement of the writing elements. However, I was suprised while reading the actual story to see that the narrative had a very nice flow to it. I was definately looking to see if I could point out the transitions of elements. Nevertheless, using the lives of all the people in a single building and webbing them together seemed to work out nicely as far as coherients goes. I enjoyed this reading, however I feel when it is my turn to take a run at this sort of technic, the outcome may not be as fluent. After all, George Perce had been working on this styem for a long time.
