Reviews

Robbe-Grillet has undertaken a great literary exploration." —Roland Barthes

"The reader will find in this very small volume something better than specimens. He will find pages that are not only very powerful and very characteristic of Robbe-Grillet's manner but that also offer important insights into the author's inner world." —New York Times Book Review
