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.
