I loved it' Vincenzo LatronicoA little while ago, I told the actor M that I was thinking of writing her autobiography. She liked the idea. She's a good sport. Would you just make it up? she said. M is a film star, and one of the most recognisable faces of our time. With such fame, her life has the appearance of freedom: people are instantly obliging, spaces are altered to accommodate her, time can be rearranged. For her, it seems, the rules of reality have melted away. Now M has agreed to let a stranger write her biography. Their project will sprawl and expand: to the olive groves and holiday beaches where M spends her days; across hotel rooms, bourgeois facades, film sets; through endless modern cities. It is hard not to feel ugly next to M, hard not to feel insignificant. But what truths - about the very experience of living - might this proximity allow the writer to briefly capture? And what in the end will M make of their work? In Life of M, Rachel Cusk has again fashioned a new kind of literature. A novel stripped of artifice, it takes our emptiness and fills it with grace. 'Electrifying . . . a deeply enjoyable addition to Cusk's canon concerning brilliant and dividedwomen' Megan Nolan, Observer'[Cusk] is a disciple of the truth, and she helps us to see' Lucy Jones, Independent'Roll up, wave a flag and join the crowds to watch Rachel Cusk continue her relentless march through life' Irish Times","brand":"Rachel Cusk","offers":[{"title":"192 pages \/ 27\/08\/2026 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57415358677367,"sku":"9780571399802","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780571399802.jpg?v=1787880400","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780571399802","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
