by Robert Pinget
Translated from the French and produced by Barbara Bray
The school of modern French novelists, of Which Marguerite Duras , Robbe-Grillet, and Robert Pinget are leading members, has perhaps been less represented in this country than is its due; though Third Programme listeners will remember adaptations of Moderato Cantabile and The Square by Marguerite Duras. Of Dead Letter Barbara Bray writes: ' Pinget's style combines very sharp wit with profound compassion. From a realistic beginning he goes on to explore the deceptivenesi and stability of formal thought.'
