Outline: A Novel by Rachel Cusk
Author: Rachel Cusk
Description: Outline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her students in storytelling exercises, meets other writers for dinner, and goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her seatmate from the place. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves, their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. Through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast—a woman learning to face great loss.
Significance: Outline is the first book in a short yet epic cycle—a masterful trilogy that will be remembered as one of the most significant achievements of our times.
Critical Acclaim: 'Outline succeeds powerfully. Among other things, it gets a great variety of human beings down on the page with both immediacy and depth; an elemental pleasure that makes the book as gripping to read as a thriller... A stellar accomplishment.' - James Lasdun, Guardian
