Rachel Cusk redrew the boundaries of fiction with the Outline Trilogy, three literary masterpieces whose narrator, Faye, perceives the world with a glinting, unsparing intelligence while remaining opaque to the reader.
Now, in Coventry, she gathers a selection of her nonfiction writings that both offers new insights on the themes at the heart of her fiction and forges a startling critical voice on some of our most urgent personal, social, and artistic questions.
Coventry encompasses memoir, cultural criticism, and writing about literature, with pieces on family life, gender, and politics, and on D. H. Lawrence, Françoise Sagan, and Kazuo Ishiguro.
Named for an essay Cusk published in Granta, this collection is pure Cusk and essential reading for our age: fearless, unrepentantly erudite, and dazzling to behold.
