![]() ![]() ![]() Cusk refuses to name the place where the book takes place. I wasn't working hard to get anywhere, instead I was letting things just happen. I felt like I was letting myself float in a pool as I read them. ![]() But I loved the way she uses the books to just tell stories, stories that ring true in a way that most fiction does not. None of the books has a plot per se and if you had just tried to describe them to me I probably would not have thought them my cup of tea. I loved each one of them and I think it was patience, endurance, and loyalty that I brought to them. Late in this slim volume that concludes Rachel Cusk's "Outline" trilogy, she writes "it reminds them of the possibility that it is patience and endurance and loyalty – rather than ambition and desire – that bring the ultimate rewards." I think that might be the best way to sum up my reaction to these books. ![]()
