La Reprise is a French novel in the Nouveau roman style by French writer Alain Robbe-Grillet published in France in October 2001[1] by Les Éditions de Minuit.
[5] The plot follows a French secret service agent, Henri Robin, sent on a special mission to Berlin[6] in 1949.
[6] The story is commented on by an unknown narrator, who points out inconsistencies in Robin's own story, and the novel eventually (according to reviewer Heller McAlpin) emerges as "a Sophoclean oedipal revenge drama, complete with incest, blindness..., parricide and fratricide.
[7] It has been compared to Graham Greene's novel The Third Man, or an Alfred Hitchcock film.
