The country that I want to visit is France. Especially Paris, its capital. I always loved French literature, like Alfred Jarry, Raymond Queneau, and Georges Perec. They’re all dead, but I don’t know why I think that if I came to that city I would meet them…it’s not possible, but I think that they’re still there writing in cafés and bars. Also, I would love to go to the Collège de Pataphysique, a French institution founded in 1948 that creates parodic scientific theories based on a false science called Pataphysics. Also I would love to go to a reunion of the French literary group OuLiPo. They’re a group of writers and mathematicians who like to write using really strange and difficult rules that they invent for themselves. One of the most famous books created by a member of the group was La disparition, a book written without the letter e, the most used letter in French. And I would also go to the place where Inspector Jules Maigret (a character created by Georges Simenon) worked: 36 quai des Orfèvres.
