...expected to ease Spain's press censorship through the completion of a long-delayed and less restrictive new press law. He replaces narrow-minded Gabriel Arias Salgado, 58, who has rigidly suppressed the news ever since the Civil War and has regarded all writers and intellectuals with suspicion...
...Jealousy, Robbe-Grillet's most experimental book, there is no plot and no central character, only the watching eye of a husband who thinks his wife is unfaithful to him. The eye has no characteristics other than its barely controlled suspicion. It observes, for the most part without comment, a few uneventful scenes in which A .... the wife, and Franck, her presumed lover (and the eye itself), have drinks, dinner, coffee, and discuss a trip A ... and Franck are to take to town.

Sense and consistency are not what one asks of a polemicist. If his rotten eggs hit their target often enough, it does not matter what else they hit. And some of Miller's past eruptions have spattered the landscape marvelously, affronting puritans by proving the neglected Rabelaisian theorem that fornication can be funny. But more often, as in the present book, what Miller throws is not rotten eggs but gamy generalities...
