nouveau roman
nouveau roman (Fr. ‘new novel’) Experimental fictional form. Pioneered by Alain
Robbe-Grillet, Samuel
Beckett, and Nathalie Sarraute during the 1950s, it drew on the writings of Franz
Kafka and James
Joyce, and the techniques of film-making. It is characterized by meticulously detailed description, the avoidance of value judgments, and a consciousness of the artificiality of time sequences.
