" But as a final gesture of rebellion in this interview, [Robbe-Grillet] declines to say, between film and literature, which he regards as his wife and which his mistress. "
'I didn't marry either of them. It's like asking: Which do you prefer, your Dad or your Mum?'
A "final gesture of rebellion"? How about a final gesture of contempt for such a silly question. Sheesh
