«Les Gommes» is the crime novel by French writer Alain Robbe-Grillet, published by Les Éditions de Minuit in paperback (264 pages, in French).
Young detective Wallas investigates the death of Daniel Dupont, an apparently ordinary man who lived on rue des Arpenteurs. The action takes place in a city where time seems out of sync, and the novel stands out for its meticulous descriptions and its attention to perception and reality.
The novel was originally published in 1953 and this French edition belongs to the catalog of Les Éditions de Minuit.
For readers of French literature and crime novels who enjoy strange atmospheres and detailed descriptions.
