“Je regarde, donc je derobe” [‘I watch, therefore I unveil’] Alain Robbe-Grillet
SUMMARY: Alain Robbe-Grillet (literary “terrorist” and film-maker extra-ordinare), alongside a panoply of international authorities on his work, discusses the course of his career and the relationship between novels and films, the conscious world we normally inhabit and the realm of the subconscious and dreams. Equal focus is placed on his literary and cinematic work, both by Robbe-Grillet himself and by those who speak about his work. The text is an unabridged transcription of the Oxford University Robbe-Grillet Conference 1996, giving an up-close encounter with the author and the contemporary appreciators of his creative output. A ‘must’ for readers and students of modern literature and cinema theory.
