A talk about the cult of the object in the modern novel by LAURENCE KITCHIN
Mr. Kitchin argues that since Virginia Woolf material objects have been ' asserting themselves with a new independence ' in the French and English novel. He discusses work by Alain Robbe-Grillet and Elizabeth Bowen to pinpoint the nature of this development, which he sees as producing a new role for the artist as scavenger.
