Bernard Pingaud

Pingaud, Bernard (b. 1923). French novelist, noted literary critic (studies of Camus, Madame de Lafayette) and essayist, he co-founded the review L'Arc (1958) and collaborated on Les Temps modernes. His novels reflect both an interest in problems of the emotional life and psychoanalysis (L'Amour triste, 1950, and La Scène primitive, 1965) and his political commitment (Adieu Kafka, 1989).
