Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien is a short (roughly 60 pages) book by Georges Perec written in October 1974 and published in 1975. It is a collection of observations which Perec wrote as he sat in Saint-Sulpice Square in Paris. Rather than describing impressive or notable things such as the architecture, Perec aims to describe all the things that usually pass unnoticed. He charts brief details of buses and people who pass, not worrying about repetition.
The Tentative was first published in a journal, then in the 10/18 series and finally reedited by Christian Bourgois.
