Robbe-Grillet's career was built on a sly and amusing paradox: of using fiction over and over again to undo the conventions of fiction. But how cleverly and engagingly he did it.
The Independent
The finest novel about love since Proust.
- Vladimir Nabokov,
The novel remains striking in its originality, and Richard Howard’s translation from 1959 has held up well.
