A path-breaking novel of art, womanhood and violence, from the author of the Outline trilogy.

A writer hides. A mother dies. A woman is attacked.

In Parade, Rachel Cusk creates a new documentary voice that operates on the border between fiction and reality. It braids imagined characters with the actual, experience with the philosophical, to altering effect.

Praise for the Outline trilogy:
'A work of stunning beauty, deep insight and great originality.' Monica Ali,
New York Times

'A landmark in twenty-first-century English literature, the culmination of an
artist's unshakable efforts to forge her own path.' Andrew Anthony, Observer

'A perfect synthesis of form and content.' Deborah Levy
