Question

The image of a crushed frog on a road recurs in a novel titled for this practice that begins by interlacing an account of a boy drawing a seagull with excruciatingly detailed descriptions of a ferry docking at an island. The narrator engages in this practice in Madame Lemercier’s boarding-house in Henri Barbusse’s novel Hell. (15[1])The title character begins engaging in this practice in a rye field behind the Forest Hotel ten years after attending a ball in Town Beach at which her fiancé Michael left her for Anne-Marie Stretter in The (*) Ravishing of Lol Stein by Marguerite Duras. A novel titled for a performer of this practice never makes clear whether the traveling watch salesman Mathias actually murdered the 13-year-old Jacqueline Leduc. For 10 points, name this sexual practice that titles a pioneering nouveau roman by Alain Robbe-Grillet. ■END■ (10[2]0[13])
