Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About

Шаблон:Infobox book Breaktime is a young adult novel by Aidan Chambers. The book follows Ditto who debates with his friend Morgan about the value of literature, but has to retreat for a week to sort things out.[1][2]

The novel has been described as "famous for its unique narrative style and sexual content",[3] and its narrative techniques have been compared to those of James Joyce's Ulysses.[4]

Reception

Kirkus Reviews praised "the ease with which Chambers adapts modernist experimental techniques and post-modernist plays on the conventions of fiction to an accessible YA level", and noted that Ditto was a "candid reporter, alert and responsive come-what-may".[5]
