“…Published in 1994, The Informers is a collection of thirteen short stories which aim to explore the various facets of a certain Los Angeles social microcosm in the nineteen-eighties.The first-person narration, based on a deliberately minimalist paratactic structure which involves recurrent snatches of dialogue, moves through an endless succession of toponyms (Palm Springs, Melrose etc.) and cultural clichés (trendy places, music or clothing) which all seem to trap people and places within an imprisoning landscape—most aptly metaphorized by the Sunset Boulevard.Both huge and confined to the specific landmarks or "non-places" of an interlope society, this landscape provides an ambivalent area in which people are cast adrift, wandering like ghosts in some kind of existential nowhere described by Michel de Certeau as "un théâtre de passants".…”
