Answer
Alain Robbe-Grillet was a French writer who was a key figure in the Nouveau Roman literary movement. The Nouveau Roman movement was a reaction against traditional realism and narrative in literature. Instead, Nouveau Roman writers experimented with new ways of storytelling, often using stream of consciousness and unreliable narrators. Robbe-Grillet's novels often feature complex, often labyrinthine plots and a focus on objects and physical descriptions.
