…the material hung about me in great folds. Finding no other explanation, I realized that I appeared to have shrunk quite drastically…It was as if I were disappearing; or rather, as if the space I was entitled to occupy were being gradually withdrawn.

I claimed that this was no challenge at all, so I'll back that up:

Ett tag nu har jag försökt ta mig igenom Rachel Cusks #Konturer men jag är helt enkelt inte på humör för dessa oändliga monologerna. Det är ett intressant grepp om en roman och där finns en del anekdoter som fått det att dra i mungiporna. Men efter fyra kapitel ställer jag tillbaka den på […]

ajattelee hänen kirjojaan sillai ihan lukuvauhkoontumisen ulkopuolellakin, että ei mechakissajeesus miten siistiä, että joku ylipäätään kirjoittaa tuollaista! Mindfuckien aatelia. Lukekaa, tyypit, lukekaa näitä(kin).

📚 #PropuestaLiteraria "Segunda casa" de #RachelCusk
📖 Novela introvertida, más que íntima, ambientada en un lugar hipnótico en el que la incomunicación resulta ser la atmósfera en la que tiene lugar su contrario.

Me ha costado casi un mes leerme 170 páginas. No sé si por falta de tiempo o falta de cuerpo. #Despojos #RachelCusk

Bernard Williams is famous for matching an analytic style with a humanist’s soul. His work, like Cusk’s, is marked by an interest in self-expression and authenticity.

Bernard Williams’s chapter considers the differences between sincerity and authenticity as contending ideals of truthfulness about the self.

Rachel Cusk’s ‘Outline’ (2014) is a novel in ten conversations, one in which ideas of selfhood and authenticity feature with striking prominence.

In the autumn of 2024, we took Outline (2014), by Rachel Cusk, as our literary focus. We devoted the spring of 2025 to The Years (2008), by Annie Ernaux.
