He is a poet, novelist, short story writer, playwright, essayiste, and plasticine artist specializing in collages. As a member of l'Oulipo, Jouet became its focus in June 2009 when he began publicly writing a serialized novel in five days.[1] He first became involved with Oulipo in 1978, stemming from a writing course directed by Paul Fournel, Georges Perec, and Jacques Roubaud.[2]

His serial The Republic of Mek Ouyes was broadcast simultaneously on radio and on the web, through the site of his publisher, P.O.L.

Jouet wrote Poèmes de métro while riding the underground trains of the Paris Métro.

gollark: Enterprise-level, fully deterministic execution of random code. Totally secure!
gollark: ```pythonimport itertoolsimport multiprocessing as mchars = [chr(x) for x in range(32, 126)]chars.extend(["\t", "\n"])def generate_for_length(length): return map(lambda chars: "".join(chars),itertools.combinations(chars, length))def generate(): for i in itertools.count(): for s in generate_for_length(i): yield sif __name__ == "__main__": def start(func): proc = m.Process(target=func) proc.start() io_queue = m.Queue(maxsize=128) def printer(): while True: print(io_queue.get()) code_queue = m.Queue(maxsize=128) def generator(): for x in generate(): code_queue.put(x) def executor(): while True: code = code_queue.get() result = None try: result = repr(exec(code)) except Exception as e: result = repr(e) if result != None: io_queue.put(code + ": " + result) start(generator) for _ in range(4): start(executor) printer()```
gollark: Which do you think is slower: the execution or generation of strings?
gollark: ```pythonimport itertoolschars = [chr(x) for x in range(32, 126)]chars.extend(["\t", "\n"])def generate_for_length(length): return map(lambda chars: "".join(chars),itertools.combinations(chars, length))def generate(): for i in itertools.count(): for s in generate_for_length(i): yield sfor x in generate(): try: print(exec(x)) except Exception as e: print(f"{e} from {x}")```
gollark: I should multithread this!
