34497nnThis paper explores how the device of storytelling can be used in fiction to construct a specifically ludic i.e. playful and gamelike literature. I compare two novels as a case-study: the 20C French writer Georges Perec's La Vie, mode d'emploi (Life: a User's Manual) and the 19C Chinese scholar Li Ruzhen's fantasy novel Flowers in the Mirror (Jing Hua Yuan). Both novels are modelled on the notion of game, and both use stories as fragmented episodes that piece together the whole narrative
