Reviews
Praise for Alain Robbe-Grillet: "Robbe-Grillet's theories constitute the most ambitious aesthetic program since Surrealism."--John Updike "Robbe-Grillet is important because he has attacked the last bastion of the traditional art of writing: the organization of literary space"--Roland Barthes "Alain Robbe-Grillet is the forerunner of a revolution more radical than Romanticism and Naturalism were in their time."--Claude Mauriac "Robbe-Grillet was a master at conveying human misunderstanding."--Bernard-Henri Lévy "I doubt that fiction as art can any longer be seriously discussed without Robbe-Grillet."--New York Times "Jealousy . . . is a technical masterpiece, impeccably contrived."--New York Times Book Review "In the Labyrinth is better than an excellent novel: it is a great work of literature."--Maurice Nadeau, France-Observateur "A highly emotional experience for the reader . . . Robbe-Grillet will take his place in world literature as a successor of Balzac and Proust."--Parade of Books, on In the Labyrinth
