British-born experimental writer Christine Brooke-Rose puzzled numerous critics, theoreticians, and writers as she overturned opinions continuously struggling to outline her fractal identity. The present book boldly outlines and settles the ambiguities of Christine Brooke-Rose’s split identity, originating in the psychoanalytical, aesthetic, and authorial confusion of a writer who took delight in challenging readers with highly experimental novels. This study highlights the chameleonic features of the Brooke-Rosean narrative in an audaciously exhaustive and original attempt to chart the author’s lipogrammic narrative discourse, its unifying intertextual yet anamorphic web, and its fictional characters.

Noemi Alice Bartha is currently a Junior Teaching Assistant at the North University Centre of Baia Mare, and a literary researcher with a special interest in literary theory, criticism and world literature. Dr Bartha has published several articles in various journals and books, including Language and Literature: European Landmarks of Identity and From Francis Bacon to William Golding: Utopias and Dystopias of Today and of Yore. Her research coagulates around contemporary fiction, exploring the dimensions of narrative discourse, the multiple undertones of identity, and the theoretical elements underlying (experimental) fiction. Dr Bartha has a degree in English and Romanian Language and Literature, and a PhD in Philology (2013), having written a thesis on Christine Brooke-Rose’s experimental fiction. Passionate about translation, both technical and literary, she also takes a lay interest in food engineering, quantum physics, medicine, visual art, ethics, animal welfare, and metaphysics. She is a member of ENN; ESSE; RSEAS; ALGCR; NarrNet; and RIDERS-Project.
