Reviews
[T]otally fascinating. . . . [An] immensely rich book. . . . Amalgamemnon is a brilliant example of its author's thesis, proving the eternal creative flexibility of language and the restorative vitality of one person's cultural memory., [Amalgamemnon] will surely feature in the literary histories when Booker contenders have faded away. Only 140 pages, but informed by a delight in language and wordplay that attracts the...more pejorative label 'experimental' (authors should not display too much inventiveness and intelligence or be influenced by French modes if British). An ideal gift for readers who like to keep their wits about them., "This sort of metafiction can start like a rocket, then fizzle,but Christine Brooke-Rose's novel keeps gaining momentum, blazes withwit and regains for fiction some of the territory lost to critics inrecent raids. On all counts it deserves the three stars from Orion'sbelt." -- The Guardian "About what it feels like to be a word-addict--worse, a writingaddict--in the brave new world of communications technology." -- TheObserver " Amalgamemnon is a brilliantexample of its author's thesis, proving the eternal creative flexibilityof language and the restorative vitality of one person's culturalmemory." -- American Book Review, About what it feels like to be a word-addict--worse, a writing addict--in the brave new world of communications technology., This sort of metafiction can start like a rocket, then fizzle, but Christine Brooke-Rose's novel keeps gaining momentum, blazes with wit and regains for fiction some of the territory lost to critics in recent raids. On all counts it deserves the three stars from Orion's belt.
