Chosen as one of fifteen remarkable books by women that are shaping the way we read and write in the 21st century by the book critics of The New York Times.

Rachel Cusk's Outline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her students in storytelling exercises. She meets other visiting writers for dinner. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her neighbor from the plane. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves: their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face a great loss.

verão em atenas

no início do livro tem um quote que o resume bem: “the unexpected sometimes looks like a prompting of fate”.

uma leitura que me fez pensar bastante, apesar de não tratar de assuntos “pesados”, trata sobre assuntos normais da vida, senti como se estivesse em Atenas com Faye e ela me contasse sobre seu dia no final da tarde.
