AUTHOR: Alain-Robbe-Grillet
READ: September
THOUGHTS: Felt similarly to this as I did to In The Labyrinth. This book complicated my ideas re: Grillet; I think his project w/ the novel is incredibly interesting/innovative, but I felt as if my participation in this project of his started to wane a bit 2/3 through the book, as I already had a pretty clear idea of what he was doing, and I knew that reading through the rest of whatever would happen would not really change anything for me about the book, which it didn't, which I also guess is part of the point since a large part of his project seems to be eschewing the privilege given to continuity, climax, linearity, ending, etc etc. I think I need to give myself some time before I read another book of his, but I am still very interested in reading more (and more about) Grillet.
