“Could be read as the French New Novelist’s tribute to the vibrant
Latin American fiction that his own early works helped to inspire”
(The New York Times Book Review). A provocative novel by one of the
most influential French writers, Recollections of the Golden Triangle
is a tour de force: a literary thriller constructed of wildly diverse
elements—fantasy and dream, erotic invention, and the stuff of
popular fiction and movies taken to its farthest limits. A secret
door that is opened slightly by an electronic device, a beautiful
hanged factory girl, a pale young aristocrat whose blood apparently
nourishes his vampiric lover, the evil Dr. Morgan who conducts his
experiments in “tertiary dream behavior,” the beautiful and
sinister women from the world of horror films, and the investigating
police, who are not all what they seem to be, are just some of the
ingredients of this intriguing new novel by the French master of the
intellectual thriller, whose novels and films have effectively changed
the way we can look at the “real” world today. Recollections of
the Golden Triangle challenges the reader to find his own meaning in
its descriptions, clues, and contradictions, and to play detective by
assembling the pieces of the fictional puzzle. “If you make the
effort [to read Recollections of a Golden Triangle], you will have a
richer and more rewarding experience than you would reading a
conventional mystery story.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch “A
sense of atmosphere and a power of representation that at best make
one feel that one is looking over an artist’s shoulder with one eye
on the canvas and the other on the reality that he is sketching.”
