One of the most important and influential books of our time, a completely integrated masterpiece that has already become a classic.
Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922–2008) is best known as the pioneering spokesman of the Nouveau Roman, a greatly influential movement in post-war French fiction, and as the author of Jealousy and The Voyeur.
Robbe-Grillet is a visual novelist for whom perception is
intrinsically fascinating but fraught with uncertainty.
*The Daily Telegraph*
Robbe-Grillet's career was built on a sly and amusing paradox: of
using fiction over and over again to undo the conventions of
fiction. But how cleverly and engagingly he did it.
*The Independent*
The finest novel about love since Proust.
*Vladimir Nabokov*
The novel remains striking in its originality, and Richard Howard’s
translation from 1959 has held up well.
