Robert Pinget (French pronunciation:[ʁɔbɛʁpɛ̃ʒɛ]; 19 July 1919 – 25 August 1997) was a Swiss-bornFrench novelist and playwright associated with thenouveau roman movement.[1]
In 1951, he published his first novel,Entre Fantoine et Agapa. After publishing two other novels, but then having his fourth rejected byGallimard, Pinget was recommended byAlain Robbe-Grillet andSamuel Beckett toJérôme Lindon, head ofÉditions de Minuit, where he publishedGraal Flibuste in 1956, and subsequently the rest of his work. He became a French citizen in 1960, and purchased a 16th-century house inTouraine where he spent the rest of his life.[2][3][4]
Scholars and critics have often associated his work with that of his friendSamuel Beckett, whom he met in 1955.[5][6]
