«La Jalousie» is the novel by French writer Alain Robbe-Grillet, published by Les Éditions de Minuit in paperback (217 pages, in French).
A husband observes his wife and her possible encounters with another man, in a plot of jealousy built from subjective perception. The narration avoids psychological introspection and focuses on meticulous description of objects and scenes, so that suspicion and the narrator's gaze shape the story.
The novel is related to the French nouveau roman and its plot is structured as a love triangle. The cover bears the subtitle «roman».
For readers of twentieth-century French literature interested in the nouveau roman and in experimentation with narrative point of view.
Alain Robbe-Grillet was a French writer and filmmaker.

Robbe-Grillet was elected a member of the Académie française on 25 March 2004, succeeding Maurice Rheims at seat No. 32. He married Catherine Robbe-Grillet.
