noun nuvo ʀɔmɑ̃ˌnuːvəʊ rəʊˈmɑːnˌno͞ovō rōˈmän
mass noun

    • In the conclusion of Reading for the Plot, Brooks anticipates the limitations of narrative theory after the nouveau roman and postmodernity ushered in new notions of plot.
    • Because Americans stop at le nouveau roman and they think that after Alain Robbe-Grillet, there is nobody.
    • And the list of generic influences - the apologia, the memoir, the road story, the nouveau roman - extends on and on.
    • In 1984, Robbe-Grillet's autobiography, Ghosts in the Mirror, sparked renewed interest in his work because of its revelations about his life during World War II and his apparent rejection of some of the tenets of the nouveau roman.
