Georges Perec y la fauna australiana: Perec fue invitado en septiembre de 1981 como escritor residente en la Universidad de Queensland, en Brisbane, Australia. Durante esta estancia, Perec se divierte explicando a todo el mundo que los canguros y los koalas no serían en realidad más que invenciones. Elabora así una teoría conspirativa muy absurda: estos animales habrían sido primero mitos procedentes de los relatos aborígenes, antes de ser recuperados y amplificados por los colonos europeos para dar la ilusión de un continente extraordinario. Llevando la broma aún más lejos, sugiere que, gracias a los avances de la genética moderna, estas criaturas habrían acabado siendo fabricadas, transformando un engaño en una realidad visible en los zoológicos occidentales. Pero, añade con humor, un secreto así no podría revelarse sin poner en peligro tanto la economía turística australiana como el conjunto de la clasificación animal.
