Translated from the French by Barbara Wright. "What can I tell you about FABLE? It is a love story, or rather the story of a betrayal. The man betrayed doesn't cry out for vengeance, he is prostrated. Then he tries to turn the tragedy to ridicule, in order to overcome it. Monsieur Miaille becomes Monsieur Miette ('crumb'), thus he survives, although greatly diminished. Return to the fold (Fantoine) after a short odyssey, and acceptance."—Robert Pinget, in a letter to his translator, Barbara Wright
