Description

A Regicide by Alain Robbe-Grillet is a disquieting and satirical novel that explores the boundaries between truth and fiction. Set in an unspecified island kingdom, the story follows Boris, a statistician who becomes embroiled in a plot to assassinate the King. As the events unfold, doubt creeps in, leaving the reader questioning what actually happened. Written in 1949 but published posthumously in 1979, this novel marks Robbe-Grillet's first foray into the world of fiction. It is a pioneering work of the Nouveau Roman genre, which would later become a hallmark of his writing style. A Regicide is a thought-provoking and unsettling read that challenges the reader to think critically about the nature of reality. This novel has been reissued in English, offering readers the chance to experience Robbe-Grillet's unique brand of avant-garde fiction for themselves.
