Scholar Harry T. Moore's preface in Alain Robbe-Grillet and the New French Novel critiques Robbe-Grillet' s work along with other writers included in this genre.

Robbe-Grillet's For a New Novel: Essays on Fiction is a collection of his critical essays about the New Novel, the innovative form Robbe-Grillet helped establish in the 1950s.

Robbe-Grillet's highly acclaimed novel Jealousy presents a traditional love triangle in the author's unique New Novel style of writing.

Robbe-Grillet's "The Wrong Direction" is a short sketch in the "Three Reflected Visions" section of Snapshots. Like "The Replacement," it presents enigmatic images with little commentary.

Maguerite Duras's The Lover tells a partially autobiographical story of a young girl growing up in French Indochina. Duras is another proponent of the New Novel style of writing.
