In this first comprehensive study of Pinget published in English, Leonard A. Rosmarin argues that each of Pinget's novels, plays, and even narratives represents successive stages in an inner voyage of exploration. As Pinget probes deeper and deeper into his imaginary universe, its confines, Rosmarin asserts, seem to expand, opening up innumerable perspectives, bringing forth all kinds of disquieting paradoxes.Rosmarin shows how Pinget's fascination with the subconscious explains, at least in part, his attraction to the Nouveau Roman. Lucid control is a means to an end, Rosmarin maintains, with the end being the in-depth exploration of the unfathomable riches hidden within the subconscious. Because the subconscious contains an infinite variety of possibilities to explore, Pinget has always found it necessary to devise a special tone for each novel he embarked on.Ultimately, Rosmarin observes that Pinget, like his enigmatic protagonists, has embarked on an endless search for a magical formula - the essential truth or truths of his being that will make him whole again.
