As the nouveau roman is a narrative in search of its own coherence, this is an autobiography that springs to life in reflecting on its own meanings. The internal conflicts of the writer become the very subject of the book in an exercise in which fiction is truth and truth, fiction.'

Uncorrected Proof. 13.5 x 21cm. (11), 174 pages. Original softcover. Excellent condition. Rejecting the usual approach in autobiographical writing of presenting a life as "a quasi-historical narrative . . . arranged in a causal sequence," Robbe-Grillet ( Last Year at Marienbad ) instead views this first volume of memoirs as a process of "continua lquestioning" by a "resolute, ill-equipped, imprudent explorer." In the volume at hand, the process concerns the literary, psychological and personal. Among Robbe-Grillet's literary preoccupations are the influence of Camus's The Stranger on himself and a generation of writers, and his own role as an "objective novelist"; among the psychological, his sexual preference for young girls; among the personal, his wife and their marriage of four decades. And, like all who lived through it, Robbe-Grillet was marked forever by WW II: after the Liberation, his"personal relations with order underwent a profound change" as he learned of "the whole dark horror that was the hidden face of National Socialism." Alternately analytical, emotional, distant and arch, the book is true to Robbe-Grillet's view of reality. [From Publishers Weekly] Sprache: english.
