Coventry: Essays
Elegant and elegiac, Rachel Cusk’s new book—while nominally a collection of essays—defies categorization. In writings that tackle everything from Françoise Sagan to the intricacies of family life, Cusk glides effortlessly between the realms of memoir, literary criticism, and cultural commentary. The result: a must-read critical compendium for the modern age.
Available August 20.
