Alain Robbe-Grillet: The Body of the Text

by Ben Stoltzfus

This book is a thematic approach to Robbe-Grillet's works. As a semiological and structural study of his fiction it addresses generative themes, serial permutations, the esthetics of revolt and revolution, the sexuality of the text, abyssal effects, dialectical topologies, labyrinths, and ludic structures.

220219: review before i forget. i have read r-g for decades in translation. saw ‘le dernier anne at marienbad’, read/looked at cine-novel Last Year at Marienbad: Text for the Film by Alain Resnais, read Jealousy & In the Labyrinth, then, over the years, read more by and on. this is academic. interested in r-g? well i never studied him. read him. confused, fascinated, repelled, obsessed. so, he is not for everyone. do not know where litcrit is on him by now, just wandering at u library and this seems to represent the 80s. fun. for me...
