Here, in one volume, are two remarkable vels by the chief spokesman of the so-called new vel which has caused such discussion and aroused such controversy. Jealousy, said the New York Times Book Review is a technical masterpiece, impeccably contrived. It is an exhilarating challenge, said the San Francisco Chronicle. The Times Literary Supplement of London called Robbe-Grillet an incomparable artist and the Guardian termed Jealousy an extraordinary book. In his native France, leading critic Maurice Nadeau wrote in France-Observateur that In the Labyrinth is better than an excellent vel: it is a great work of literature, and fellow velist and critic Claude Roy judged the same work Robbe-Grillet s best book, while here in America the Parade of Books column called In the Labyrinth a highly emotional experience for the reader and went on to predict: Robbe-Grillet will take his place in world literature as a successor of Balzac and Proust. This volume, which offers incisive essays on Robbe-Grillet by Professor Bruce Morrissette of the University of Chicago and by French critics Roland Barthes and Anne Mir, also contains a helpful bibliography of writings by and about the author.
