These three stories were written in French shortly after the war and translated into English in the fifties, two of them in collaboration with Richard Seaver. They are a bridge between the early novels written in English and the Molloy trilogy. These three stories are rich in verbal and situational humour and the preoccupations which are fairly constant throughout the work of a writer who has not only transformed the art of the novel and contemporary theatre, but has given to both academics and the general reader a corpus of work of inexhaustible interest.
