Outline, by Rachel Cusk

Firstly, I need to congratulate the publisher of the edition of Outline that I read for not mentioning the narrator's name in the back cover blurb. Cusk revealed it on page 211 and I was in ignorance until that moment, which is how I like it.

Secondly, this book was fantastic. It reminded me of some other things that I'm having a hard time placing, though among them are Sepharad and Le Feu Follet - the common feature among the three being that they focus on interactions and stories within stories within stories told second or third hand.

I also found while reading Outline that I felt my own interactions, overhearings, and observations feeling as though they took on the same quality of remove. I can't wait to read the other two books in the trilogy.
