Alain Robbe-Grillet's [i:]The Erasers[/i:] is the rare novel written very much with academia and literary theory in mind that still rings true. It's not [i:]Jealousy[/i:], but it's still excellent and evocative and unique. It's too much to get into right now, but I might write more extensively about it later.

Ce roman est définitivement intrigant! Je ne suis pas certaine d’avoir tout compris, mais j’ai envie de comprendre, alors je n’arrête pas d’y penser depuis que je l’ai terminé.

everything and everyone in this book is a device. sterile. well constructed, like a bunker.
are nouveau roman and la nouvelle vague the same thing but novel and motion film, respectively? because it feels like a godard movie without the girl. Alphaville without anna.
the blurry transitions in narrative perspective are fun.
oh, what's up with "revolver"? repeated a hundred times. is that the translator's mistake? even has a picture of a revolver in the cover art of the edition i borrowed. the gun in question has a clip, jams, and can utilize a silencer. that's a pistol.
