Graal Flibuste

This early work by the landmark Swiss author Robert Pinget is unlike any other he produced over his long career; indeed, there are few books by any writer with which it bears comparison—aside perhaps from the novels of Raymond Roussel or Denis Diderot. Graal Flibuste follows the progress of its narrator and his impudent coachman, Brindon, through a fantastical land peopled by strange creatures and stranger potentates, and filled with tall tales, mysteries, crimes, dilemmas, and deities … not least among whom is the terrible god Graal Flibuste himself.

Escritos en la madurez literaria de Robert Pinget, a ratos perdidos entre el resto de su obra, "Señor Sueño", "Arado" y "El arnés" tienen como protagonista al señor Sueño, un jubilado que anota lo que siente y piensa, o lo que cree que ha pasado, no como si lo recordara, sino como si lo oyera.Ácido e irónico, a medio camino entre la prosa de su amigo Samuel Beckett y el humor de Buster Keaton, Pinget dio un peculiar encanto a esta novela (¿o diario?, ¿o colección de apotegmas?, ¿o borrador?), su inclasificable obra maestra."Si fuera posible deslizar aquí algunas líneas pe-netrantes sobre el pasado del señor Sueño que dieran al personaje un interés retroactivo por así decirlo, se haría. Pero es imposible y la razón de ello no puede darse."
Inquisitory
AvRobert Pinget
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
179 kr
Tillfälligt slut
The Inquisitory consists entirely of the interrogation of an old, deaf servant regarding unspecified crimes that may or may not have taken place at his master's French chateau. The servant's replies - which are by turns comic, straightforward, angry, nostalgic, and disingenuous - hint at a variety of seedy events, including murder, orgies, tax fraud, and drug deals. Of course, the servant wasn't involved with any of these activities - if the reader chooses to believe him. In trying to convince the inquisitor of his innocence, the servant creates a web of half-truths, vague references, and glaring inconsistencies amid "forgotten" details, indicating that he may know more than he's letting on.
Mahu, Or, the Material
AvRobert Pinget
Häftad, Engelska, 2005
142 kr
Tillfälligt slut
In the tradition of Flann O'Brien's At Swim-Two-Birds, Gilbert Sorrentino's Mulligan Stew, and Raymond Queneau's The Flight of Icarus, Robert Pinget's Mahu or The Material tells the story of Mahu, a lazy man who may be a character in his friend Latirail's failing novel, which is taken over by characters invented by Sinture, yet another writer. The latter half of the novel consists of Mahu's strange and hilarious musings on everything from belly dancers to how he catches ideas from other people in the same way he catches germs. Mahu is Pinget's funniest novel, featuring a mix of dark humor and manic word-games, and is as inventive and energetic now as when it was first published.
Trio

Häftad, Engelska, 2006

Tillfälligt slut
Trio marks the first time these three shorter Pinget works are collected in a single volume. From the sublime surrealism of Between Fantoine and Agapa, through the Faulknerian take on rural life in That Voice, to the musical rhythm and flow of Passacaglia, this collection charts the varied career of one of the French New Novel's true luminaries.The space between the fictional towns of Fantoine and Agapa is akin to Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County: an area where provincialism is neither romanticized nor parodied; where intrigue--often violent intrigue--confronts the bucolic ideal held both by insiders and outsiders; and where reality is shaped not by events, but by talk and gossip, by insinuation and conjecture. Written over the course of his career, these three novels are by turns hilarious and dark, surreal and painstakingly accurate; together they demonstrate the consistent quality of Pinget's versatility.
