Alain Robbe-Grillet is internationally hailed as the chief
spokesman for the noveau roman and one of the great novelists of
the twentieth century. The Erasers, his first novel, reads like a
detective story but is primarily concerned with weaving and then
probing a complete mixture of fact and fantasy. The narrative spans
the twenty-four-hour period following a series of eight murders in
eight days, presumably the work of a terrorist group. After the
ninth murder, the investigation is turned over to a police agent,
who may in fact be the assassin.
Both an engrossing mystery and a sinister deconstruction of
reality, The Erasers intrigues and unnerves with equal force as it
pull us along to its ominous conclusion.
