Robbe-Grillet, a French novelist and filmmaker, is considered the originator of the nouveau roman, or "new novel." In this writing style, timelines and plots are fractured and the resulting novel resembles the literary equivalent of a cubist painting.

This novel is based on what legend from Ancient Greece?
