Description
Cleverly deconstructing the detective genre, The Erasers, Alain Robbe-Grillet’s first published novel, shifts between various characters and time frames, while maintaining the suspense of a conventional thriller. The result is an engrossing examination of consciousness and reality which is also one the founding texts of the nouveau roman school.
Robbe-Grillet is a visual novelist for whom perception is intrinsically fascinating but fraught with uncertainty.
