As in Outline, Faye's arc is less about plotted action and is more a series of vignettes, focused this time on long conversations about the ways we journey through life. During these chats, her hairdresser reveals his confrontation with fear and being unwanted one New Year's Eve, and an author, while speaking on a panel with Faye at a literary festival, talks about the fame he has received by revealing personal stories. A construction worker soundproofing her floors talks with Faye about architecture and broken families, and a potential student discusses her obsession with an obscure painter, and how her love for him sprung from the ashes of a failed attempted affair. As always, Cusk's ear for language and dialogue is sharp; her characters speak about universal ideas, such as anxiety and lust. This marvelous novel continues the author's vivid exploration of the human condition. 650 0 $a English teachers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230104013828.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170523021629.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B8388E83F7E11E78C4957BEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
