If we are ever to experience in English the serious practice of narrative as the French have developed it over the last few years, we shall have to reckon with Christine Brooke-Rose.—Frank Kermode
Christine Brooke-Rose (1923-2012 ) was born in Switzerland and was educated at Somerville College in Oxford and University College London. She taught at the University of Paris from 1968 to 1988 and now lives in the south of France. She is the author of many novels, a book of stories, and books of criticism.
In Brooke-Rose’s novels, fiction is continually put forward as that which is essentially unreliable and yet essentially human.—Richard Martin, The Review of Contemporary Fiction
