What is Understanding Alain Robbe-Grillet (Understanding Modern European and Latin American Literature) about?

In This Introduction To The French Writer, Roch C. Smith Suggests That Despite The Initial Shock Often Felt On A First Encounter With Robbe-grillet, Reading His Work Can Be Great Fun For Someone Willing To Tolerate Defamiliarization And Ambiguity And To Become An Interactive Traveler Through His Narrative Mazes. With This Exploration Of Robbe-grillet's Novels, Short Stories, And Autobiographies, Smith Offers A Guide For The Adventuresome Reader To The Writer's Labyrinthine And Playful World. Transforming Bewilderment Into Understanding And Pleasure While Preserving A Sense Of Robbe-grillet's Considerable Richness And Complexity, Smith Elucidates The Defining Elements Of The Writer's Fictional World - Characters That Barely Exist, Changeable Narrators, Plots That Defy Logic, Notoriously Meticulous Descriptions That Never Quite Form A Complete Story. Smith Examines Robbe-grillet's Embrace Of Discontinuity, Circularity, Indeterminacy, And Linguistic Play. Smith Also Poses Questions About How We Should View This Perplexing Writer: As An Author Of Hyperobjective Novels And Short Stories, A Subjective Novelist, A Realist, Or A Writer Who Undermines The Narrative's Claim To Represent Real
