“Fondation’s fiction is so far past noir that it’s almost surreal. What’s horrifying is that it’s not surreal; it’s real. Fondation is the author of three books of fiction…and each of these books is a small masterpiece…” —Transfuge

 

“…the Raymond Carver of the noir novel.”—Hubert Prolongeau, Marianne Magazine

 

Work of “….dazzling effect served by masterful language.”—Mikael Demets, L’Accoudoir

 

“…a crescendo connecting at 100,000 volts.”—Martine Laval, Le Matricule des Anges

 

Fondation has, “…gathered together scrap material about the lives of the down-and-out, the despondent, the criminal and the poor, and has rendered their miserable quotidian lives so that Everyman might receive some belated attention. The result is that the sad and commonplace tale of a Greek chorus takes precedence over the tragedy of an Antigone or Oedipus.”—Rain Taxi

 

“[A] journalistic sensibility pervades not only the stories’ plots but also their prose…this kind of writing results in a spare, oddly affecting beauty…”—American Book Review
