 SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Alain Robbe Grillet
Then there were the theorists and practitioners of the new novel, Nathalie Sarraute and Alain Robbe-Grillet, who had given up on psychology and three-dimensional characters moving through sequential stories, and instead floated their characters in a coldly objective world of things.
On one side are the jewel-encrusted works of Alain Robbe-Grillet, turning the novel into a gridlike Mondrian painting as characters swish through gilded, mirror-paneled rooms and catacombs of erotic torture.
Even such aggressive formalists as Marguerite Duras and Alain Robbe-Grillet, avatars of the French nouveau roman in the 1950s, have reached the screen - though often only with screenplays, such as Last Year At Marienbad or Le Camion, as baffling and alienating as their novels.

 Trans-Europ Express
In fact the nouveau roman first emerged in the 1950s and amongst its key practitioners was a novelist who only later became a screenwriter and director: Alain Robbe-Grillet.
In a way that Robbe-Grillet could perhaps never have anticipated, Trans-Europ Express is as challenging and influential again today as it was in the 1960s – a key text of the postwar European avant-garde.
Many of the elements of his daringly rule-breaking screenplay – temporal dislocation, narrative rejigging, ellipses, and playfulness, not to mention several very unreliable narrators – have today again, forty years later, become the playground of more innovative directors.
