She liked the idea. She’s a good sport. Would you just make it up? she said.\nM is a film star, and one of the most recognisable faces of our time. \nWith 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. \nNow 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? \nIn 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.\n‘It is truly masterful, her best work so far. I loved it’ Vincenzo Latronico \n'[Cusk] is a disciple of the truth, and she helps us to see' Lucy Jones, Independent\n'Roll up, wave a flag and join the crowds to watch Rachel Cusk continue her relentless march through life' Irish Times","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52262599721248,"sku":"9780571399802","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780571399802_3056093.jpg?v=1787977857","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/life-of-m-rachel-cusk-9780571399802","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
