Rachel Cusk on Art, Womanhood and Redefining Fiction

This event is in partnership with Faber Members.

The writing of Rachel Cusk poses us constant challenges. Her critically acclaimed Outline trilogy and memoirs – A Life's Work and Aftermath – dared us to rethink 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 as far.

On June 10, she comes to Intelligence Squared to discuss her exhilarating new novel Parade. This work promises to once again expand the notion of what fiction can be and do.

Join Cusk alongside writer Adam Biles and have the chance to ask your own questions during the Q&A section.
