As a massive fan of Rachel Cusk’s trilogy, I was not expecting to need a spreadsheet to keep track of all the moving parts in her latest novel. lives up to its title, with a pageant of artists with the same name, a panoply of narrative points of view and a potpourri of recurring motifs. It’s a novel designed to get the reader off balance, even compared to Cusk’s previous work.
