Description: The literary friendship between Alain Robbe-Grillet and Roland Barthes lasted twenty-five ears. Everything attests to their deep and mutual intellectual esteem: their private correspondence, their published texts, their conversations--notably in the famous dialogue which gives its name to this work. This is a small collection of texts Robbe-Grillet wrote commemorating his friend, Barthes.
