  2. ‘It goes without saying that the Oulipo is anything but imperialist. It proposes an artistic and aesthetic point of view that has its means of justification, it’s arguments, it’s illustrations. It makes no claim to be the depository of truth. Oulipian writing - that is, writing with constraints – endeavours to rediscover another way in which to practice artistic freedom, one that is at work in all (or nearly all) the literatures and poetic enterprises of the past; the freedom of difficulty mastered. Like a marathon runner, Oulipian thus sometimes discovers the intoxication of a “second wind” – Life A User’s Manual, no doubt the finest Oulipian novel written thus far, is an example of this. A definition: An Oulipian author is a rat who himself builds the maze from which he sets out to escape.’ Compiled by Mathews , H. & Brotchie, A. ‘Oulipo compendium’ pp41.
