question: What author of The Holy Innocents was most famous for the "fiendish" translation of Georges Perec's postmodern novel "A Void"?
answer: Gilbert Adair
context: Title: Piero Falchetta
  Passage: Piero Falchetta (born 1951) is an Italian cartographer, writer and translator.  He is head of the department of ancient maps at the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice and a specialist of medieval travel writing, history of cartography and history of navigation.  He currently lives in his native Venice.  One of his most recent contribution to medieval cartography is a critical edition of Fra Mauro's World Map, published in 2006.  Recent contributions to the history of navigation are the essays on Michael of Rhodes' nautical writings, and the edition of Benedetto Cotrugli's treatise "De navigatione" (1464–65).  He is also the author of literary essays and translations.  His most notable translation is "La scomparsa" (1995) Italian translation on Georges Perec's lipogrammatic novel "La disparition" (1969) (English translation "A Void", 1994), which was awarded the 1996 "Leone Traverso" debut prize in the Monselice Literary Prize.
  Title: Georges Perec: A Life in Words
  Passage: Georges Perec: A Life in Words is an authoritative biography of Georges Perec by David Bellos, Professor of French and Comparative Literature and Director of the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication at Princeton University, who also translated Perec's major novel "Life: A User's Manual" (1978) from French into English.  His prize-winning biography contains a full list of Perec's works.  Unfortunately the first edition (1993) published in Australia contained a rather unfortunate binding error.  About three-quarters of the way through, a whole section was reinserted into the book.  This made the rest of the book rather unreadable.  The second edition (1995) has hopefully corrected this.
  Title: The Dreamers (film)
  Passage: The Dreamers is a 2003 romantic drama film directed by Bernardo Bertolucci.  The screenplay is by Gilbert Adair, based on his own novel "The Holy Innocents".  An international co-production by companies from France, the United Kingdom, and Italy, the film tells the story of an American university student in Paris who, after meeting a peculiar brother and sister who are fellow film enthusiasts, becomes entangled in an erotic conflict.  It is set against the backdrop of the 1968 Paris student riots.  The film makes several references to various movies of classical and New Wave cinema, incorporating clips from films that are often imitated by the actors in particular scenes.
  Title: W, or the Memory of Childhood
  Passage: W, or the Memory of Childhood (French: W ou le souvenir d'enfance ), is a semi-autobiographical work of fiction by Georges Perec, published in 1975.  Perec's novel consists of alternating chapters of autobiography and of a fictional story, divided into two parts.  The autobiographical thread is a collection of uncertain memories, as well as descriptions of photos which preserve moments from Perec's childhood.  The memories in the first part of the book lead up to Perec's separation from his mother when he was evacuated in the Second World War.  The second part recollects his life as an evacuee.  The adult narrator sometimes provides interpretations of the childhood memories, and often comments on details of the memories which his research showed to be false or borrowed.
  Title: An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris
  Passage: An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris, (French: "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.
  Title: Hospital of the Holy Innocents
  Passage: The Hospital of the Holy Innocents, or the Melandry was a Leper Hospital on South Park common in Lincoln, England.  It was founded in the late 11th or early 12th century either by Bishop Remigius or Henry I.  It was possibly the first Leper Hospital to be founded in England.  In 1422 the confraternity of Burton Lazars was granted the Hospital of the Holy Innocents.  At the time of Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Hospital, together with the Burton Lazars hospital were purchased by William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley

  Title: Life a User's Manual
  Passage: Life a User's Manual (the original title is La Vie mode d'emploi) is Georges Perec's most famous novel, published in 1978, first translated into English by David Bellos in 1987.  Its title page describes it as "novels", in the plural, the reasons for which become apparent on reading.  Some critics have cited the work as an example of postmodern fiction, though Perec himself preferred to avoid labels and his only long term affiliation with any movement was with the Oulipo or "OUvroir de LIttérature POtentielle".
