Clegg, Richard. “Stories That Will Last.” Review of Walter Benjamin Stares at the Sea by C. D. Rose, Bookmunch, 24 February 2023:

… Another boost to the author’s reputation is his inclusion in the gargantuan and magisterial collection of articles by Andrew Gallix Unwords, a survey of modern European fiction, that has just been published by Dodo Ink. It is fitting that C. D. Rose is amongst good company there with the Robbe-Grillets, the Calvinos, and the lesser known North Western writer, H. P. Tinker.

This final quotation, from Andrew Gallix’s essay on Michel Butor, about the laboratory of narrative could stand for C. D. Rose as well:

“Whether he is analysing how a fictive locale may reconfigure the space in which a book is read or excavating old objects … his insights continue to feel new-minted and exhilarating.”
