La experiencia de la maternidad es una experiencia en contradicción. Es un lugar común y es imposible de imaginar. Es prosaico y es misterioso. Es a la vez banal, extraño, convincente, tedioso, cómico y catastrófico. Ser madre es convertirse en el actor principal de un drama de la existencia humana al que nadie se presenta. Es el proceso por el cual una vida ordinaria se transforma invisible en una historia de extrañas y poderosas pasiones, de amor y servidumbre, de encierro. y compasión". "En un libro que es conmovedor, hilarante, provocativo y profundamente perspicaz, la novelista Rachel Cusk intenta contar algo de una vieja historia ambientada en una nueva era de igualdad sexual. El relato de Cusk sobre un año de maternidad moderna se convierte en muchas historias: una despedida de la libertad, el sueño y el tiempo; una lección de humildad y trabajo duro; un viaje a las raíces del amor; una meditación sobre la locura y la mortalidad; y sobre todo, una educación sentimental en bebés, libros, grupos de niños pequeños, malos consejos, llanto, lactancia y nunca estar solo

NPR's Favorite Books of 2019 Rachel Cusk redrew the boundaries of fiction with the Outline Trilogy, three “literary masterpieces” (The Washington Post) whose narrator, Faye, perceives the world with a glinting, unsparing intelligence while remaining opaque to the reader. Lauded for the precision of her prose and the quality of her insight, Cusk is a writer of uncommon brilliance. 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 (“Every so often, for offences actual or hypothetical, my mother and father stop speaking to me. There’s a funny phrase for this phenomenon in England: it’s called being sent to Coventry”), this collection is pure Cusk and essential reading for our age: fearless, unrepentantly erudite, and dazzling to behold.

Cusk ist besser als Knausgård. Berliner Zeitung

Druhý diel trilógie, ktorá sa začala románom Obrys, jedna z 10 najlepších kníh roka podľa denníka New York Times. Faye sa po rozvode presťahuje aj s malými synmi do Londýna. Rozpad sa stáva katalyzátorom viacerých zmien a posunov – osobných, morálnych, umeleckých a praktických –, kým sa snaží vytvoriť novú realitu pre seba a svoje deti. V meste sa musí konfrontovať s aspektami života, ktorým sa doposiaľ snažila vyhýbať, a zvažuje otázky zraniteľnosti a moci, skazy a obnovy. Inteligentná rozprávačka sa ponára hlbšie do tém načrtnutých v románe Obrys a poskytuje prenikavé a dojemné úvahy o detstve a osude, hodnote utrpenia, morálnych problémoch osobnej zodpovednosti a záhady, ktorou je zmena.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION A woman arrives in Athens in the height of summer to teach a writing course. Once there, she becomes the audience to a chain of narratives as the people she meets tell her one after another the stories of their lives. Beginning with the neighbouring passenger on the flight out and his tales of fast boats and failed marriages, the storytellers talk of their loves and ambitions and pains, their anxieties, their perceptions and daily lives. In the stifling heat and noise of the city the sequence of voices begins to weave a complex human tapestry: the experience of loss, the nature of family life, the difficulty of intimacy and the mystery of creativity itself.
