Antinovel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An antinovel is any experimental work of fiction that avoids the familiar conventions of the novel. The name was coined by French critic Jean-Paul Sartre.
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.
