Stephen: “My sister gave me six books for Christmas and this is one of them. The story takes place in London and seems to be about transition. I didn’t read the flap, I’m just diving in. I guess we’re always in transition. Am I? You could say that. I have three jobs. I work at a restaurant, am an artist, and teach part time. I’m trying to figure out how to replace the restaurant job with something more meaningful. I’ve been in the restaurant industry for 35 years. I’m only able to have these jobs and work as an artist because I own a 1 bedroom apartment. If I had to pay rent in New York, my life would be challenging if not impossible.” #Transit #RachelCusk / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at G Train)

BookReview Man am I happy that I got the chance to read this book. I am at a lost really on how to explain this book. It's not that it is bad because it's not its intriguing. It's one of those books you start to read and think there's no way I'm going to finish this and the next thing you know you have finished. This book is like being inside a writer's head when he or she is getting ready to write a book. They have a list of characters they want in the book so they start interviewing them. While the characters are being interviewed, they are telling the writer all these different stories. I don’t know if I'm describing it right but it really was a different read. One I would recommend to someone that is looking for something different to read because this book is definitely unique. Happy reading everyone! #rachelcusk #outlinebook #contemporarynovels #goodreads #picardobooks #adultfictionbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CPukGk5jgyt/?utm_medium=tumblr

hated this at first. cusk’s style is detached and cold, keeping her reader at an arm’s distance. however, after re-reading outline for a university project, i’ve learnt to love it. her use of distance seems less like hostility and more like self preservation. the lack of emotion in particular scenes manages to draw the reader closer, as we insert ourselves into the narrative. the setting of greece is moreover a perfect choice. 4/5 ⭐️ #bookstagram #book #books #rachelcusk #rachelcuskoutline #englishliterature #greece #fiction #outline https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJm84NFf1s/?igshid=1u973m2h4l6vn

Por meio de uma narrativa silenciosa, construída com uma linguagem singular e inovadora, Cusk captura ao mesmo tempo nosso desejo de criar raízes e de escapar da própria vida, iluminando a dolorosa ambivalência que sustenta nossa relação com o mundo. TRÂNSITO, de Rachel Cusk, chega às livrarias no dia 7/8 e já está em pré-venda, com 20% de desconto, no nosso site.

I said that while her story suggested that human lives could be governed by the laws of narrative, and all the notions of retribution and justice that narrative lays claim to, it was in fact merely her interpretation of events that created that illusion. The couple’s divorce, in other words, had nothing to do with her secret envy of them and her desire for their downfall: it was her own capacity for storytelling – which, as I had already told her, had affected me all those years ago – that made her see her own hand in what happened around her. Yet the suspicion that her own desires were shaping the lives of other people, and even causing them to suffer, did not seem to lead her to feel guilt. It was an interesting idea, I said, that the narrative impulse might spring from the desire to avoid guilt, rather than from the need – as was generally assumed – to connect things together in a meaningful way; that it was a strategy calculated, in other words, to disburden ourselves of responsibility.
