About
Reviews

Christine Brooke-Rose was born in Geneva and educated at Somerville College, Oxford and University College, London. She taught at the University of Paris, Vincennes, from 1968 to 1988 and lived for many years in the south of France. Carcanet publish her novels Amalgamemnon, Xorandor, Verbivore and Textermination and her earlier novels Out, Such, Between and Thru in the Brooke-Rose Omnibus. Also available is her autobiographical work, Remake (1996). She died on 21 March 2012.

Praise for Christine Brooke-Rose (1923 - 2012) 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 attend to Christine Brooke-Rose.
Frank Kermode on Thru She is a sublime rollercoaster: hold on and hurtle with her - the ride will be exhilarating.
Spectator We always need to have somebody who is willing to venture into the still vast terra incognita of fiction.
Sunday Telegraph
Her finest novel completely succeeds because subject and language are one.
Angus Wilson on Between Such is a runaway success for her original technique... funny, painful, exciting, haunting...
Elizabeth Smart Out represents quite a new departure in Miss Brooke-Rose's work... a splendid achievement...
