A Void/Rule and Constraint

The piece, Rule and Constraint really makes me think differently about the connotation that comes with the word constraint or limit. When thinking about a piece in terms of its limit, I have usually thought of the more limitless the piece, the better. However, now I am starting to look at a limit or a constraint placed on a piece could actually turn it into something so different, but make it much more than what it would be without that limit or constraint. I like how the piece actually says, "Perec sees in these constraints the beginning of a new poetic art." A Void, is such an artful piece of work; and it makes me think differently about limits in terms of literature.
