'One of the most astoundingly original and necessary books I've ever read.' Guardian'A landmark in twenty-first-century English literature.' Observer'Compelling from its first pages to its extraordinary final scene.' New Statesman'A perfect synthesis of form and content.' Deborah LevyA woman on a plane listens to the stranger in the seat next to hers telling her the story of his life: his work, his marriage, and the harrowing night he has just spent burying the family dog. That woman is Faye, who is on her way to Europe to promote the book she has just published. Once she reaches her destination, the conversations she has with the people she meets - about art, about family, about politics, about love, about sorrow and joy, about justice and injustice - include the most far-reaching questions human beings ask. These conversations, the last of them on the phone with her son, rise dramatically and majestically to a beautiful conclusion. Following the novels Outline and Transit, Kudos completes Rachel Cusk's trilogy with overwhelming power.

#14 in the New York Times '100 Best Books of the 21st Century'The first in Rachel Cusk's landmark trilogy, shortlisted for the Folio Prize and the Goldsmith Prize and longlisted for the IMPAC Prize.'A work of stunning beauty, deep insight and great originality.' Monica Ali, New York Times'One of the most daringly original and entertaining pieces of fiction I've ever read.' Observer'A perfect synthesis of form and content.' Deborah LevyOutline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her student in storytelling exercises. She meets other writers for dinner. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her seatmate from the place. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves, their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face great a great loss.
