I was so excited to talk to Rachel Cusk this week about her new book Parade , just published by Faber, a novel that surges past the limits of identity, character and plot to render insights about art family, morality and gender, I've been a devotee of Rachel's since 1994 when I devoured Saving Agnes in one sitting ,  and knew I'd found a singular new female writer.Rachel Cusk is the author of Second Place, the Outline trilogy, the memoirs A Life’s Work and Aftermath, and several other works of fiction and nonfiction. She is a Guggenheim Fellow and lives in Paris ..
