You seem like a nice chap, but you are wrong.Germinal? Toss. Thérèse Raquin? No thank you.
The other extreme isn't much better. Ever read Flaubert?
Alain Robbe-Grillet, on the other hand, is bloody brilliant. Les Gommes is a wonderful dream-sequence of a book, where the character doesn't know who he is or whether he's real, or what else is real, and he's detective-ing.
As I rather pretentiously said in my A Level French oral exam, it's the antithesis of Cartesian philosphy.
