Say everything again, for fear of having said nothing.Atmosphere felt similar to reading Beckett’s Molloy trilogy, though it’s merely a vague feeling more than a commonality of any specific elements. Just that sense of grey heaviness permeating the text. An intriguing text, though difficult to parse. Fits in with the Nouveau Roman crew, especially early Robbe-Grillet and early Duras: vagueness of plot (if any), attention paid instead to the words themselves, the way of telling.
