An Evening with Rachel Cusk: Life of M

Rachel Cusk is the most talked about novelist of the year.

Known for her critically acclaimed Outline trilogy and memoirs – A Life’s Work and Aftermath – Cusk’s work poses constant challenges: to form, the limits of character, identity and what it means to be a woman. Arguably, no writer working today has pushed the boundaries of contemporary writing and storytelling further.

In her latest book, Life of M, Cusk tells the story of M, a film star and one of the most recognisable faces of our time. This portrait of fame, beauty and power has generated headlines and has prompted discussion and debate throughout the literary world.

On December 7 Cusk joins us to speak publicly about the book on a UK stage for the first time. Live at Union Chapel, she will shed light on the craft of autofiction, and what Life of M reveals about life and reality.

Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to hear Cusk discuss Life of M and her work to date, and ask your questions in the audience Q&A.
