Beskrivelse
From Rachel Cusk, author of the Outline trilogy, comes this startling, exhilarating novel that once again expands the notion of what fiction can be and do. Midway through his life, the artist G begins to paint upside down. Eventually, he paints his wife upside down. He also makes her ugly. The paintings are a great success. In Paris, a woman is attacked by a stranger in the street. Her attacker flees, but not before turning around to contemplate her victim, like an artist stepping back from a canvas. At the age of twenty-two, the painter G leaves home for a new life in another country, far from the disapproval of her parents. Her paintings attract the disapproval of the man she later marries. When a mother dies, her children confront her legacy: the stories she told, the roles she assigned to them, the ways she withheld her love. Her death is a kind of freedom. Parade is a novel that demolishes the conventions of storytelling. It surges past the limits of identity, character, and plot to tell the story of G, an artist whose life contains many lives. Rachel Cusk is a writer and visionary like no other, who turns language upside down to show us our world as it really is.

Sproget flyder og fører læseren/lytteren med i en flod af registreringer og overvejelser.

Interessant, men lidt kunstlet fortælling

Temmelig forvirrende i første og sidste del af romanen, hvor G skifter både køn og familie flere gange Men diskussionen om kvindelige kunstnere i midtersektionen er virkelig fin.

Den kollektive depression… - eller latente sorg bevidstgjort.

Den bedste bog af Cusk efter min mening. Jeg læser den lige igen.
