Parade A Novel

From Rachel Cusk, author of the Outline trilogy, *Parade* is a novel that pushes the boundaries of fiction, often rejecting traditional conventions of storytelling, character, and plot. The narrative is structured around multiple, seemingly disparate threads, all exploring themes of art, identity, family, morality, and gender. Key storylines include a famous artist named G who gains notoriety for painting his subjects, including his wife, upside down; a woman in Paris who is attacked by a stranger who then pauses to contemplate her 'victim' like an artist; and a group of adult children confronting the complex and withholding legacy of their recently deceased mother. The novel uses these narratives to explore how we construct and compose ourselves in the world.
