Lo infraordinario

Sixteen contemporary authors narrate their search for and encounter with concept of "infraordinary" described in George Perec's 1973 essay "Approaches to What?," conceived as extraordinary moments encapsulated in ordinary experience. Brenda Lozano ponders on history of each object in her pocket, Gabriela Ybarra reflects on light on yellow velvet, Juan Villoro refuses to bite into a fossilized sweet, other authors broach other topics.
