Description
Tropisms by Nathalie Sarraute is a thought-provoking novel that examines the intricate dynamics between our thoughts and actions in everyday life. Through a series of sketches and observations, Sarraute reveals the social conventions that govern human existence. First published in 1939, Tropisms was ahead of its time but gained recognition when it was republished in 1957 at the height of the nouveau roman movement. This novel is now considered a precursor to this literary style. With just 96 pages, Tropisms offers a concise and insightful exploration of human nature, making it an intriguing read for those interested in psychological fiction.
