Antinovel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An antinovel is any experimental work of fiction that avoids the familiar conventions of the novel. The term was coined by the French philosopher and 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.
