About This Item
Grove Press, Black Cat Book B-133, New York, 1981. 13th paperback printing. Condition: Very good plus, light edge and corner wear, light crease at rear cover.
The winner of the Prix des Critiques from the French avant-garde author of Jealousy.
Mathias, a timorous, ineffectual traveling salesman, returns to the island of his birth after a long absence. Two days later, a thirteen-year-old girl is found drowned and mutilated. With eerie precision, Robbe-Grillet puts us at the scene of the crime and takes us inside Mathias's mind, artfully enlisting us as detective hot on the trail of a homicidal maniac. A triumphant display of the techniques of the "new novel," The Voyeur achieves the impossible feat of keeping us utterly engrossed in the mystery of the child's murder while systematically raising doubts about whether it really occurred.
