Hardback
One of our books of the year 2024!
Forest says: In Parade, Cusk uses the form of the artist's biography as a vehicle to explore gender, violence and fate. It is a departure that shows her enjoying a bit more freedom in her work from the previous formal experiments of the outline trilogy and second place. Nonetheless it retains a treatment of the novel that is born of a deep understanding of the tradition and the origins of personal narrative and language contained within us all. Truly brilliant work.
