Dans ce récit si simple et si uni qu'il convient d'en souligner l'originalité profonde, Georges Perec tente, le premier avec cette rigueur, de mettre au service d'une entreprise romanesque les enseignements de l'analyse sociologique. Il nous décrit la vie quotidienne d'un jeune couple d'aujourd'hui issu des classes moyennes, l'idée que ces jeunes gens se font du bonheur, les raisons pour lesquelles ce bonheur leur reste inaccessible – car il est lié aux choses que l'on acquiert, il est asservissement aux choses. " C'est qu'il y a [dira Georges Perec] entre les choses du monde moderne et le bonheur, un rapport obligé... Ceux qui se sont imaginé que je condamnais la société de consommation n'ont vraiment rien compris à mon livre. Mais ce bonheur demeure possible ; car, dans notre société capitaliste, c'est : choses promises ne sont pas choses dues. "

Prix Renaudot - 1965
