Description
Christine Brooke-Rose's experimental novel, *Thru*, challenges conventional narrative structures by emptying characters, settings, and plot of their usual substance while retaining their functional roles. This creates a unique surface-level experience for the reader, inviting exploration of narrative theory and the nature of storytelling itself. Drawing parallels to the "floating 'I'" of Robbe-Grillet and the visual experimentation of Maurice Roche, the novel is a profound demonstration of post-war literary innovation. With its fragmented text and a striking final list of every proper name, *Thru* offers a challenging yet rewarding engagement with language and form.
