Everything attests to their deep and mutual intellectual esteem: their private correspondence, their published texts, their conversations— notably in the famous dialogue which gives its name to this work. Robbe-Grillet freely said he had very few true friends but, next to the publisher Jérôme Lindon, he always cited the name of Roland Barthes. In 1980, he wrote his own \u003cem\u003eI love, I don't love\u003c\/em\u003e, published here for the first time, thinking about his friend. In 1985, he predicted: \u003cem\u003eIt is his work as a writer which will remain\u003c\/em\u003e. Ten years later, in 1995, he imagined him as an impatient, blithe novelist, merrily rewriting— \u003cem\u003eeuphorically, with inexhaustible happiness\u003c\/em\u003e— \u003cem\u003eThe Sorrows of Young Werther\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis small collection of conversations and short texts by Robbe-Grillet is like the deferred echo of those that Roland Barthes dedicated to him in his \u003cem\u003eCritical Essays\u003c\/em\u003e in 1964. It offers fresh insight into the development of Robbe-Grillet's own work as well as that of Barthes, and is a unique testimony to one of the most important literary friendships of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47433326100716,"sku":"9780745650791","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745650791.jpg?v=1774765161"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/alain-robbe-grillet.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
