La Maison de rendez-vous was published a year after In C premiere, and while this is a random fact I needed to start the review, the book has a strikingly similar usage of repetitions and slow changes common in minimalist music. Similarity to music probably looks lazy and standard, but Mr. Robbe-Grillet obviously doesn't go for Toscanini-like brightness of moments and is much more devoted to Adorno-praised interest in the structure of a piece.
