"The Brooke-Rose Omnibus" brings together four unexpected novels: "Out", a science-fiction vision of a world surviving catastrophe; "Such", in which a three-minute heart massage is developed into a poetic and funny narrative; "Between", a glittering experience of the multiplicity of language; and "Thru", a novel in which text and typography assume a life of their own. Linking them all is wit, inventiveness and the sharply focused intelligence of Christine Brooke-Rose, a great European humanist writer.
'Out represents quite a new departure in Miss Brooke-Rose's work ... a splendid achievement ... ' Isobel English 'Such is a runaway success for her original technique ... funny, painful, exciting, haunting ... ' Elizabeth Smart Between: 'her finest novel completely succeeds because subject and language are one.' Angus Wilson Thru: 'If we are ever to experience in English the serious practice of narratives as the French have developed it over the last few years, we shall have to attend to Christine Brooke-Rose' Frank Kermode
