Tropisms by Nathalie Sarraute
Nathalie Sarraute's Tropisms is considered one of the defining texts of the nouveau roman movement. Tropisms was championed as a masterpiece by Jean Genet, Marguerite Duras, and Jean-Paul Sartre, who hailed Sarraute as his favorite anti-novelist. Sarraute defined her Tropisms as the movements that are hidden under the commonplace, seemingly harmless instances of our everyday lives. Like figures in a grainy and shadowy photo, the characters in Tropisms are barely defined, the narrative never developed beyond a stressed moment. Instead, Sarraute brilliantly highlights the shift in tone through remarks or subtle details when a relationship changes, when we fall slightly deeper into or begin to emerge out of love or trust, or when something innocent tilts by the smallest degree toward suspicion.
Sarraute, Nathalie: - Nathalie Sarraute (1900-99) was a French novelist, essayist, dramatist, and critic. Her works have been translated into more than thirty languages.
