His own rather bellicose theoretical pronouncements were partly to blame for this unattractive picture, belied by the immense popular success of the film \u003ci\u003eLast Year at Marienbad\u003c\/i\u003e (1961) (made by Alain Resnais from Robbe-Grillet’s script) and the high critical esteem in which novels like \u003ci\u003eJealousy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Voyeur\u003c\/i\u003e are held. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his original study, first published in 1983, John Fletcher attempts to resolve this paradox by offering a new interpretation of Robbe-Grillet’s work which stresses the subversive qualities of his imagination and the disturbing power of his vision of a world of labyrinths and bizarre sexual stereotypes, haunted by images of love and loss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45600120799470,"sku":"9780367336462","price":134.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367336462.jpg?v=1721463715","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/alain-robbe-grillet-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
