Book description
Recommended by Victoria'This is philosophical fiction at its peak. Parade contains four long chapters that interweave the lives of four different artists - all called G, two men, two women - with the life of the first-person narrator and her husband. Like the characteristic covers, Cusk's prose is clean and deceptively simple while asking some of the most difficult existential questions: what does it mean to create (produce?) art? Is it anything like creating (producing?) a child? Do the answers to those questions differ depending on whether you are a man or a woman? (Parade's answer is surely 'yes', but in interesting ways.) If we are creations (products?) of our own parents, what do we owe them? In true Cusk fashion, Parade is a novel in which the action is pared down to moments that could be life-changing, if only we recognised them as such.'
