The thirty-sixth limited edition from The Allen Press and the first of those illustrated by Michele Forgeois. A contemporary novel by French author Alain Robbe-Grillet 1922-2008 who is known as the "father of the New Novel." The story is about a jealous husband that spies on his wife through the slats in the blinds. "There is a disregard for the chronology and logic of ordinary story telling; there is a hypnotic atmosphere where the real and fantastic seem inextricably entangled heightened by a skillful rhythm of repetitions and hallucinatory reverie. It is a profoundly original achievement and a refreshing stimulant. The New Novel is a research into new ways of feeling and thinking" per prospectus. The modern atmosphere of the prose is well attended by a modern sans-serif typeface and Forgeois' pen and ink drawings.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original gray paper boards upper board illustrated with elements from the book's illustrations backstrip lettered in black yellow endpapers fore- and tail-edges uncut title-page printed in orange running title printed in green in-text decorations printed in orange yellow blue and brown with ten full-page illustrations including frontis; Univers and Garamont types all-rag paper made by hand at the Wookey Hole Mill in England to the specifications of the press with their watermark quarto size 11.5" by 9" 56 unnumbered leaves limited edition one of 140 copies; with a clear acetate dust jacket.<br/><br/>___CONDITION: A fine copy like new; the binding clean text block strong and square with solid hinges the interior clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; a miniscule bit of rubbing to the lower front corner else fine.
