Coventry encompasses memoir, cultural criticism, and writing about literature with pieces on family life, gender, and politics. Named for an essay Cusk published in Granta, this collection is pure Cusk and essential reading for our age: fearless, unrepentantly erudite, and dazzling to behold. This selection of her nonfiction writings offers both new insights on the themes at the heart of her fiction work and forges a startling critical voice on some of our most urgent personal, social, and artistic questions.
