Antinovel
Encyclopedia : A : AN : ANT : Antinovel
The term Antinovel was coined by French critic Jean-Paul Sartre. It refers to any experimental work of fiction that avoids the familiar conventions of the novel. The antinovel usually fragments and distorts the experience of its characters, forcing the reader to construct the reality of the story from a disordered narrative.
The best-known anti-novelist is Alain Robbe-Grillet, author of Le voyeur.
