Special Fields
DescriptionUsing her own life as a starting point, Rachel looks at the issues that arise for a woman in the years after she has lived the defining experiences of feminity. She writes about marriage, separation, motherhood, work, money, domesticity and love. Cusk considers the kinds of generational knowledge the contemporary woman harbours, the terrors or expectations that have been passed down to her and that are refracted through the modern transformation of female status. "Aftermath" is written in the personal/political mode that characterised "A Life's Work", Cusk's acclaimed book about becoming a mother. Promotion infoRachel Cusk's major new work of non-fiction, a series of meditations on women's mid-lives and family life after divorce. ReviewsPraise for "A Life's Work" "Extraordinary." -- "The New Yorker" "Wholly original and unabashedly true . . . Funny and smart and refreshingly akin to a war diary sort of Apocalypse Baby Now." -- Elissa Schappell, "The New York Times Book Review" |
