Everything attests to their deep and mutual intellectual esteem: their private correspondence, their published texts, their conversations - notably in the famous dialogue which gives its name to this work. Robbe-Grillet freely said he had very few true friends but, next to the publisher Jérôme Lindon, he always cited the name of Roland Barthes. In 1980, he wrote his own 'I love, I don't love', published here for the first time, thinking about his friend. In 1985, he predicted: 'It is his work as a writer which will remain'. Ten years later, in 1995, he imagined him as an impatient, blithe novelist, merrily rewriting - 'euphorically, with inexhaustible happiness' - The Sorrows of Young Werther.   This small collection of conversations and short texts by Robbe-Grillet is like the deferred echo of those that Roland Barthes dedicated to him in his Critical Essays in 1964. It offers fresh insight into the development of Robbe-Grillet's own work as well as that of Barthes, and is a unique testimony to one of the most important literary friendships of our time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49517801439505,"sku":"GOR013601623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0745650791.jpg?v=1751433737"},{"product_id":"last-year-at-marienbad-book-alain-robbe-grillet-9780714503332","title":"Last Year at Marienbad","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49520624206097,"sku":"GOR002826689","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0714503339.jpg?v=1751393370"},{"product_id":"jealousy-book-alain-robbe-grillet-9780714503110","title":"Jealousy","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49554853101841,"sku":"GOR001945808","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50200167710993,"sku":"GOR002044769","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50809524551953,"sku":"CIN0714503118G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51332922147089,"sku":"CIN0714503118VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0714503118.jpg?v=1750945015"},{"product_id":"regicide-book-alain-robbe-grillet-9781847494184","title":"A Regicide","description":"Set in an unspecified island kingdom, A Regicide tells the story of the statistician Boris who, after the electoral victory of the Church party in the country’s elections, decides to assassinate the King on the day he is to visit the factory where he is employed.

This brilliantly executed novel, which showcases all the techniques that have secured Robbe-Grillet’s place in the canon of Western literature, leaves behind a disturbing sense of unrest.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729500807441,"sku":"NGR9780714548579","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50322917622033,"sku":"GOR013926986","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50594190688529,"sku":"GOR012628781","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52662561734929,"sku":"NLS9780714548579","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/071454857X.jpg?v=1757071517"},{"product_id":"regicide-book-alain-robbe-grillet-9780714548593","title":"A Regicide","description":"Written in 1949 but only published in 1979, Robbe-Grillet's first novel is a disquieting and satirical avant-garde political thriller which bridges the gap between traditional novel and the nouveau roman genre he would later espouse and make famous.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729544814865,"sku":"NGR9780714548593","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50359889068305,"sku":"CIN0714548596G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51184711598353,"sku":"GOR010477821","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0714548596.jpg?v=1757071444"},{"product_id":"last-year-at-marienbad-book-alain-robbe-grillet-9780714550503","title":"Last Year at Marienbad","description":"A man   tells a woman that they have met before – that they became lovers but then   agreed to separate for a year. The year is now up, and he has come back for   her. At first, she remembers nothing, but as he relates their past together,   real or imaginary, snapshots of memory appear – and she begins to believe   him. As more details begin to re-emerge from the woman’s mind, the reader is   shunted backwards and forwards between the past and the present, the actual   and the illusory, that which is seen and that which is only glimpsed and   guessed at.            The director Alain Resnais was already famous for films such as Hiroshima,   Mon Amour when he asked Alain Robbe-Grillet – the author of several seminal   novels, including Jealousy and The Voyeur, and the leader of the Nouveau   Roman school – to write a script for him. The result was Last Year at   Marienbad, a film that, as well as winning the Golden Lion at the 1961 Venice   Film Festival, has enthralled the critics, fascinated the public and become   one of the greatest cult classics of modern cinema.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741969490193,"sku":"NGR9780714550503","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51236134715665,"sku":"GOR012711678","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52816907206929,"sku":"CIN0714550507G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0714550507.jpg?v=1757071705"},{"product_id":"erasers-book-alain-robbe-grillet-9780802129291","title":"The Erasers","description":"First published in 1953, and winner of the F n on Prize, Robbe-Grillet's astonishing debut novel is a sinister, singular mystery centered around a series of eight murders in eight days.

I still vividly remember queuing until two in the morning to see Last Year at Marienbad as an undergraduate in 1963 in Belfast. The film was so notorious and popular that screenings were held around the clock in a cinema near the university, and I believe people were still queuing at four o'clock in the morning. It is difficult, perhaps, to imagine people queuing today, to see a film as remarkable and experimental as Last Year at Marienbad. But it did happen, I was there, and I remember also the impact made by The Immortal One and The Man Who Lies when those were also shown in Britain.Sadly, it has been increasingly difficult to see the film works of Alain Robbe-Grillet in Britain; and it says something about our draconian cinema censorship system, which has prevented some of Robbe-Grillet's work being circulated. Britain is the only country in the world which has statutory legal censorship for video, which keeps a lot of challenging and controversial work out of circulation. Unfortunately, therefore, some of his more recent work has not been seen, except in private screenings, which I think is a pity, because Robbe-Grillet has continued to make films and to push forward the boundaries of what is possible on the screen, in parallel with his literary work. So this is a double career; that of a writer who works on the screen and on the page, and who has continued to do so for an extraordinary span of time. Robbe-Grillet's example renews the hope that film can be seen as involved in a similar enterprise to writing, a hope that is often forgotten in Britain, where cinema exists in a compartment labelled 'entertainment', and too often lacks the ambition, and complexity, that literature\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53187497427217,"sku":"NIN9781903331170","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53412926980369,"sku":"GOR014914425","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53429492351249,"sku":"GOR014915297","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781903331170.jpg?v=1772392642"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-alain-robbe-grillet.oembed?page=3","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
