Robert Pinget


Born
in Geneva, Switzerland
July 19, 1919

Died
August 25, 1997

Genre
Literature & Fiction, Theatre


Robert Pinget was a Swiss-born French novelist and playwright associated with the nouveau roman movement.

After completing his law studies and working as a lawyer for a year, he moved to Paris in 1946 to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

In 1951, he published his first novel Entre Fantoine et Agapa. After publishing two other novels, but then having his fourth rejected by Gallimard, Pinget was recommended by Alain Robbe-Grillet and Samuel Beckett to Jérôme Lindon, head of Éditions de Minuit, where he subsequently published Graal flibuste in 1956. Éditions de Minuit became his main publisher.

Scholars and critics have often associated his work with that of his friend Samuel Beckett, who he met in 1955.
