A Girl Is A Half-formed Thing
McBride Eimear
Eimear McBride's novel tells the story of a young woman's relationship
with her brother after a tumour leaves him severely brain damaged. Not
so much a stream of consciousness, as an unconscious railing against a
life that makes little sense, and a shocking and intimate insight into
the thoughts, feelings and sensual urges of a vulnerable and isolated
protagonist, to read A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing is to plunge inside
its narrator's head, experiencing her world first-hand. This isn't
always comfortable - but it is always a revelation.
