Item description from seller

First edition, out-of-series for presentation from an edition of 70 plus 7 numbered hors-commerce copes, inscribed from the author to the distinguished editor and journalist François Erval on the front free endpaper, "A François Erval, qui a deja fait tant pour faire connaitre ces recherches, avec tout l'amitié de Robbe Grillet, 30 Sept. 59.

Erval was the director of the "Idées" collection at Gallimard and worked as both an editor and literary critic for journals such as L'Express and la Quinzaine littéraire. One day after this copy was inscribed, Erval published a review of Dans le labyrinthe in L'Express, in which he praised the novel for its remarkable linear narrative.

Original white paper wrappers printed in black and blue, unopened. With the glassine wrappers. A fine copy.…
