Rachel Cusk | Home Truths | Edinburgh International Book Festival

"You know when you’re reading a page of Rachel Cusk’s fiction," says a reviewer for The New York Times: "Her narrators tug insistently if coolly at the central knots of being." Readers of Cusk’s acclaimed 'Outline' trilogy will recognise this smart observation. Those new to the British writer’s fiction have a treat in store: Cusk’s writing is as deeply engaging as it is engagingly deep. Today she joins us to discuss her latest novel 'Second Place,' in which a couple invite a famous male artist, L, to take up residence in a small building next to their seaside property. But when L arrives accompanied by a younger woman, the motivations and expectations of everyone involved are thrown into doubt. This is fiction of the highest calibre. We were thrilled to welcome back one of the finest writers on these islands to discuss her book with writer and literary critic Chris Power. 📚 EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL 2021 📚 This event was part of the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2021, a hybrid book festival with a fabulous online programme of over 250 events for adults and children.
