Life of M - Rachel CuskAn irresistible novel of fame, power, beauty and truth -- 'Truly masterful, her best work so far. I loved it' Vincenzo LatronicoA little while ago, I told the actor M that I was thinking of writing her autobiography. She liked the idea. She's a good sport. Would you just make it up? she said.M is a film star, and one of the most recognisable faces of our time. With such fame, her life has the appearance of freedom: people are instantly obliging, spaces are altered to accommodate her, time can be rearranged. For her, it seems, the rules of reality have melted away. Now M has agreed to let a stranger write her biography. Their project will sprawl and expand: to the olive groves and holiday beaches where M spends her days; across hotel rooms, bourgeois facades, film sets; through endless modern cities. It is hard not to feel ugly next to M, hard not to feel insignificant. But what truths - about the very experience of living - might this proximity allow the writer to briefly capture? And what in the end will M make of their work? In Life of M, Rachel Cusk has again fashioned a new kind of literature. A novel stripped of artifice, it takes our emptiness and fills it with grace.'Electrifying . . . a deeply enjoyable addition to Cusk's canon concerning brilliant and dividedwomen' Megan Nolan, Observer'[Cusk] is a disciple of the truth, and she helps us to see' Lucy Jones, Independent'Roll up, wave a flag and join the crowds to watch Rachel Cusk continue her relentless march through life' Irish Times
