Description:
Outline
Rachel Cusk's 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 swims in the Ionian Sea with her seatmate. The people she encounters share their fantasies, anxieties, regrets, and longings, drawing a portrait of the narrator by contrast—a woman learning to face great loss. Outline is the first book in a masterful trilogy, remembered as one of the most significant achievements of our times. 'Outline succeeds powerfully... a stellar accomplishment.' - James Lasdun, Guardian
Transit
In the wake of her family's collapse, a writer and her two young sons move to London. This upheaval catalyzes personal, moral, artistic, and practical transitions as she constructs a new reality for herself and her children. Confronting aspects of living she has avoided, she considers vulnerability, power, death, and renewal. Transit delves deeper into themes from Outline, offering a penetrating reflection on childhood, fate, suffering, personal responsibility, and the mystery of change.
Kudos
'Kudos is one of the most astoundingly original and necessary books I've ever read. It made me laugh, think, and cry... I envy anyone who hasn't read it yet.' - Julie Myerson, Guardian. A woman on a plane listens to a stranger share his life story: his work, marriage, and a harrowing night burying his family dog. Faye, on her way to Europe to promote her book, engages in conversations about art, family, politics, love, sorrow, and justice. These discussions culminate in a beautiful conclusion, rising dramatically to the most far-reaching questions human beings ask.
