I added this to my wishlist based on a GR review quite a while back so I don't recall any details. Which is interesting now because the book has no blurb whatsoever about author or novel.

I decided going in blind might be best

Max It's a lipogram, see if you can spot the device lol


Paul Dembina Oh , is it? OK, I'll see if I can spot it. Thanks for the hint


Paul Dembina I didn't spot it, I had to Google it:

Christine Brooke-Rose’s Amalgamemnon is a “pragmatic lipogram” — all its verbs are conditional, future, subjunctive, etc., so that nothing is actually happening in the present: “I shall soon be quite redundant at last despite of all, as redundant as you after queue and as totally predictable, information-content zero.”
