More about the book
Chronicles the life of Alfred Northbrook Hayley, a manipulative opportunist, through a reverse narrative that highlights his familial tensions and personal struggles. This structure serves as a genealogical exploration, deviating from traditional coming-of-age stories by presenting fragmented episodes instead of a cohesive life story. The novel draws autobiographical parallels to the author's father, Alfred Rose, and is complemented by an insightful introduction that connects fiction with Brooke-Rose's family history. It stands out for its somber yet satirical tone and sharp dialogue.
