Sinossi
"Si tratta di un avvenimento preciso, concreto, essenziale: la morte di un uomo. È un avvenimento a carattere poliziesco, vale a dire che c'è un assassino, un detective, una vittima. In un certo senso, ciascuno si attiene al proprio ruolo: l'assassino spara alla vittima, il detective risolve l'enigma, la vittima muore. Le relazioni che intercorrono tra loro non sono però così chiare, o meglio lo risulteranno solo una volta terminato l'ultimo capitolo. Il libro infatti è precisamente il racconto delle ventiquattro ore che trascorrono dal colpo di pistola alla morte, il tempo che la pallottola impiega per percorrere tre o quattro metri. Ventiquattro ore di troppo." (Alain Robbe-Grillet).

Notes: Twenty-four hours in 256 pages: 5.6 pages per hour. Over description for purposes of derealisation or defamiliarization , a technique out of Russian Formalism. Much movement of characters through physical space—the streets of an unnamed provincial city beset by canals and drawbridges, a dereli Leggi tutto
Nightmare Noir The noir mood is familiar to anyone who has read one of the Inspector Maigret novels of Georges Simenon. The bleary-eyed proprietor of a small bar in a French provincial town gets up at dawn to take the chairs from off the tables and wipe their stained marble tops; he is almost sleep- Leggi tutto
This is certainly an enigmatic book, not at all what one would expect from a detective story and requiring (in my view) at least 2 re-reads. Robbe-Grillet seems to be playing games with the reader and leading him/her up several garden paths. Although theoretically the protagonist appears to be inves Leggi tutto
Robbe-Grillet isn't known for his storytelling prowess, but THE ERASERS offers an intricately plotted and satisfying inversion of the traditional detective narrative. Every clue, false lead, and theory builds throughout the final chapter, generating an unusual sense of suspense, culminating in the e Leggi tutto
