Description: 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 Fran oise 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.
