Marcus Hobson is on page 33 of 116 of Woman in Blue
A few days ago I visited Vermeer’s painting ‘Woman in Blue Reading a Letter’ while in Amsterdam. Reading this novel a few days later is the perfect way to round off that experience.

Marcus Hobson is on page 32 of 224 of Things: A Story of the Sixties; A Man Asleep
Just like "Perfection" the first chapter of "Things" is a five page description of an apartment - except in Perec's world it is full of books not glass bottles with various seeds.
