Items related to Erasers
After a failed attempt on his life by an unknown terrorist cell, Professor Daniel Dupont decides to fake his own death with the help of Doctor Juard. The government authorities, believing that the attack is part of a series of political assassinations, send Wallas, a recently promoted special investigator, from Paris to the provincial town where the crime took place, which by coincidence he visited as a child. As he wanders the confusing streets of the town, he finds himself increasingly lost in a web of conspiracies, doppelgangers and memories. Cleverly deconstructing the detective-fiction genre, ''The Erasers'', Alain Robbe-Grillet's first published novel, shifts between various narrators and time frames, while maintaining the suspense of a conventional thriller. The result is an engrossing examination of consciousness and reality which is also one of the founding texts of the Nouveau Roman school.

About the Author:
Alain Robbe-Grillet is one of the best-known post-war French novelists, the principal theoretician and spokesman of the Nouveau Roman, the most important school of French contemporary fiction that looked at reality in a new subjective way and has changed our conception of the novel.
Review:
Fascinating ... It is an intricately clever novel * The Spectator * I doubt that fiction as art can any longer be seriously discussed without Robbe-Grillet. * The New York Times * Uses the full apparatus of the thriller ... The conception is both inventive and subtle * The Sunday Times *
