Kudos by Rachel Cusk (published by Faber & Faber) is this week's Book of the Week at VOLUME.
By narrating the stories of others as told to her, Cusk's anti-protagonist Faye embodies the struggle for ownership and identity at the core of all fiction. This book causes tectonic shifts in the reader's preconceptions.
>> Read Thomas's review.
>> Choose your own Rachel Cusk.
>> "Perhaps the cruellest novelist at work today."
>> "Some people do not like Rachel Cusk."
>> "Negative literature."
>> Cusk's Outline and Transit form a sort of 'Faye' trilogy with Kudos. It is not necessary, however, to read them all or in order.
