Ephraim is the Anglophile. Ike, surprisingly, likes his book
crimes
hard-boiled and urban. Neither one of them knows what to make
of the
new wave of deco noir books from France where there is no
hero, little
plot, and just page after page of random, bizarre
violence.
Do these books really exist or is this just O'Connell joking
about
post-structuralism and Robbe-Grillet's "theory of the new
novel"? If
they exist, have any been translated into English? Can anyone
help me?
Thanks,
Mark
