The Waterfall (novel)

The Waterfall is a 1969 novel by British novelist Margaret Drabble. The novel is one of Drabble's more experimental narratives, starting as a third person narrative but quickly dominated by a first person protagonist Jane Gray, to guide the reader through her love affair and life.[1]

Reception

The New York Times reviewer Maureen Howard gave the novel mixed reviews, suggesting that it wasn't artistic enough.[1] Howard writes that the novel is missing a "richness of seemingly effortless design, that is missing in Margaret Drabble's work. Like her heroine, she is still confined in a self-conscious world."[1]

gollark: I don't disagree that in practice you're probably fine using popular cryptographic stuff, I just don't like people wrongly saying that things are "mathematically proven".
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: Obviously nobody has publicly disclosed how to break them (except with quantum computers), but that doesn't mean it's not possible, and the NSA hires a lot of mathematicians.
gollark: There aren't actually any mathematical proofs that breaking RSA and AES and whatever actually requires a really large amount of operations.
