The Golden Triangle

The Golden Triangle brings Maurice Leblanc’s approach to fiction into clear focus first published in 1917. Maurice Leblanc uses the form to consider human motives, relationships, conflict, and the consequences of choice, keeping the emphasis on how ideas become choices, conflicts, and consequences. As part of a series, the book also contributes to a larger imaginative or narrative design while retaining its own identity. The book’s distinctive character comes from a character-centered narrative style that rewards attention to voice, structure, and perspective. At roughly 89,536 words with a fairly easy reading profile, it offers a reading commitment that is easy to judge before beginning while still leaving room for close attention. Its continuing value lies in its capacity to make unfamiliar lives and difficult choices emotionally legible. Readers drawn to fiction and human motives will find a work that combines a distinct period voice with questions that remain recognizable today.
