Beskrivning

She is eighty. Facing death, she considers her experiments with narrative, and with the narrative of her life. What is the purpose of the narrative she is creating here, and what the purpose of the life that lives it in the writing? At the centre of Life, End of, in a mock-technical lecture from the Character to the Author, she comes to accept that her experiments in narrative are like life: the narrative creates itself.Christine Brooke-Rose's last novel is a darkly comic exploration of the meanings and non-meanings to which, in the end, life and art lead us.

London Review of Books Bookshop: Recommended Title, 23rd February, 2006: The translator, critic and novelist Christine Brooke-Rose has won herself a small but devoted following through her experimental novels. This new book, which deals with human fate in the information age, has at its centre a lecture from the protagonist to the author which examines the purpose of art and life. 'A writer who brilliantly fuses political engagement, Beckettian rhythms and experimental language and form.'(Marina Warner)
