Kudos

by Rachel Cusk · 2018

Literary Fiction · ranked #147 in category

The final volume of the Outline trilogy follows the narrator Faye through a literary festival, interviews and conversations — as always defined only by what others tell her and by what she chooses not to say. Cusk brings the trilogy to a formally restrained close that is also its most overtly political installment.
