From Publishers Weekly
Rejecting the usual approach in autobiographical writing ofpresenting a life as "a quasi-historical narrative . . . arranged in acausal sequence," Robbe-Grillet ( Last Year at Marienbad ) insteadviews this first volume of memoirs as a process of "continualquestioning" by a "resolute, ill-equipped, imprudent explorer." In thevolume at hand, the process concerns the literary, psychological andpersonal. Among Robbe-Grillet's literary preoccupations are theinfluence of Camus's The Stranger on himself and a generation ofwriters, and his own role as an "objective novelist"; among thepsychological, his sexual preference for young girls; among thepersonal, his wife and their marriage of four decades ("Catherine isstill my little girl"). And, like all who lived through it,Robbe-Grillet was marked forever by WW II: after the Liberation, his"personal relations with order underwent a profound change" as helearned of "the whole dark horror that was the hidden face of NationalSocialism." Alternately analytical, emotional, distant and arch, thebook is true to Robbe-Grillet's view of reality: "discontinuous. . . juxtaposed . . . and . . . difficult to grasp."
