I wonder too where Cusk will go from here and what kind of light she is fashioning out of the dark of her recent narratives? If it is a light?

I liked the Outline trilogy while I was reading it but there is an evaporative quality to the writing for me. It doesn't stay with me very long, and it's hard to hold in your mind I think. She's a fascinating writer and I am always interested to know what she's doing next.

Oops, late seeing this Amanda, sorry! I have a feeling about Rachel Cusk that she is extremely influential among writers for reasons that don't really translate for regular readers. There seems to be something she is doing that opens a door for them, but I'm still a bit curious about what it is, though Tony definitely sheds some light here! I need to read more of her work.
