In the Labyrinth by Alain Robbe-Grillet
Alain Robbe-Grillet says in his prefatory note: 'this story is fiction, not a report. It describes a reality which is not necessarily that of the reader's own experience... And yet the reality here in question is strictly physical, that is to say it has no allegorical significance.
It is an enormous relief to be shown the world in fresh colours* The Spectator *
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 *
Powerful evocation and atmospherics… Christine Brooke-Rose’s translation is faultless. * The Observer *
