![]() ![]() ![]() Cusk’s trilogy of »the female odyssey through the 21st century«, comprised of »Outline« (2014), »Transit« (2016) and »Kudos« (2018), is a narrative project about life as a divorced woman, single mother, writer, and person. »The Bradshaw Variations« (2009) is another family portrait in which the protagonists are sickened by how they get lost in excessive reflection and feel no joy despite having wealth, careers, and children. Cusk takes a completely different tone in ✺rlington Park« (2006), which describes a day in the life of an affluent family in a London suburb with screaming children, marriage frustrations, and worries about the future. With fast-paced dialogue and situational humor, Cusk depicts how unsuited Stella is for both the job as well as for rural life. She received the Somerset Maugham Award for her second novel »The Country Life« (1997), in which 29-year-old Stella, a newly married law trainee, suddenly decides to leave London and take a service job with a wealthy family in Sussex. In 1993, she released her first novel »Saving Agnes«, for which she won the Whitbread First Novel Award. She later worked for a London literary agency and traveled to Spain and Latin America. Cusk studied English at the New College at Oxford University. In 1974, her family moved to Great Britain. Rachel Cusk, born in 1967 in Saskatoon, Canada, grew up in Los Angeles. ![]()
