Dynamics of MBBA (N-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-n-butylaniline) in ethanol at a liquid-solid interface is selectively detected using the transient grating method with total internal reflection for probe light. The thermal grating signal decays much faster than that in bulk liquid. This faster decay is
