Last Year at Marienbad (Google Books ⧉, Amazon ⧉, Bookshop ⧉)

Angle of Repose

Squashed scorpions on a white wall, two people talking, intensely unaware of being watched, in a parked car–Robbe-Grillet, that sort of thing. Last Year at Marienbad, revolving views around statues, moving views down halls, frozen and hypnotic and with held breath, and all the time the television screen jittering with meaningless motion as the Giant pitcher took his warmup throws for a new inning, and the catcher pegged down to second and the infielders peppered it around.
