■ ■ ■ New Novels (Continued from T) named Wallace to look into the facts of the "murder." Wallace, not aware that the professor is alive, returns to the scene of the crime on the assumption that the "murderers” will do likewise. However, it is the professor who enters the house, and Wallace accidentally kills him It turns out that Wallace is the illegiti mate son of the professor. In this novel, Grille! uses ex treme detail in describing the surroundings, on the surprising basis, as Marshall explained, that the physical universe has no meaning, no symbolism . . . Things just are’. The New Novel ist goes into so much detail that the material objects surrounding the characters are dis associated from the narrative by the read er.” Marshall illustrated this point by translating several pages of "Lex Gornmex” in which an intri cate description of a slice of to mato is given However, Marshall said, "The only quality Grille! gives to this tomato is that it is present. There is no sense of season, no sense of place, or that the tomato is even food. Just 'tomato.' " Wont Admit It Samuel Beckett states the ab surdity of existence. The New Novelist says that to admit the absurdity of existence is to give it character and meaning, and they won't do it,” he said. Marshall said that the New Novelist’s objection to the realist schools is that the realist tries to put himself between the char acters and the reader and to ex plain the mind of man to man. The New Novelist must concern himself with ‘authentic expert cnee —the reader doesn't need to understand the experience, he simply must "undergo it " Marshall explained that one other important character of the New Novel was the triumph of design over plot “Although it is obvious to the reader of '!, e s (joinmes' that Wallace is re en acting the Oedipal myth. Wallace doesn't know it, and never finds out he never does know that he kills his father. It is a farce." Marshall added that the New Novel has brought the most at tention in literary circles since the post-war boom of existentil ism However, it is one of Un icast read, he said. In this way it becomes a real member of the avante-garde movement, and it will have a permanent place in history. Wright to Replace Watson on Committee Arthur S.
