After the publication of Outline, Transit and Kudos - in which Rachel Cusk redrew the boundaries of fiction - this writer of uncommon brilliance returns with a series of essays that offers new insights on the themes at the heart of her life's work. Encompassing memoir and cultural and literary criticism, with pieces on gender, politics and writers such as D.H. Lawrence, Olivia Manning and Natalia Ginzburg, this collection is essential reading for our age: fearless, unrepentantly erudite, both startling and rewarding to behold.0The result is a cumulative sense of how the frank, deeply intelligent sensibility - so evident in her stories and novels - reverberates in the wider context of Cusk's literary process. Coventry grants its readers a rare opportunity to see a mind at work that will influence literature for time to come.

M, la narratrice, est une romancière entre deux âges qui n'écrit plus grand-chose. Elle s'est isolée du monde en s'installant avec son second mari Tony dans un sublime lieu peu accessible. Baignée d'une lumière spectaculaire, leur maison est entourée de marais, avec l'océan à l'horizon. Sur leur terrain, le couple possède aussi une dépendance refaite à neuf par leurs soins. Ce lieu est voulu comme une résidence d'artistes, et M n'a qu'un rêve : y accueillir L, un peintre à la renommée mondiale qu'elle admire. Après plusieurs refus, L accepte soudain l'invitation quand un cataclysme mondial voit le jour. M est aux anges cependant elle déchante vite lorsque L arrive enfin, mais accompagné d'une jeune fiancée qui s'avère rapidement très irritante. La fille de M et son compagnon ont également débarqué entre-temps. Ces six personnages vont devoir cohabiter dans un cadre certes spectaculaire, mais qui va rapidement devenir le théâtre de multiples tensions. D'une plume ciselée et détonante, Rachel Cusk crée un huis-clos piquant et fascinant qui se déploie uniquement à travers le flot de pensées de M, Mrs Dalloway des temps modernes. Entre désirs étouffés, orgueil artistique et illusions déçues, La dépendance décortique avec beaucoup de malice le grand éventail des rapports humains et la légitimité de la vocation artistique

The book's title reveals the identity of its protagonist: Kathleen McCain Engman has been posing for her son Charlie since 2009. And yet "MOM" shows us a face we never really get to know: while we soon become acquainted with her freckled complexion and intense gaze, her position in the images becomes increasingly unclear. Engman first began shooting his mother because she was available, ever-willing to meet the demands of one of her children. But what began as a casual, organic process evolved into an intense collaboration. The result is neither a family album nor a filial tribute but a much deeper and far more complex interaction: one that raises questions about the limits of familiarity, the rules and boundaries of roles and representation, vulnerability and control, and what it means to look and to be seen.
