'A brilliant, stark and unsettling feat.' Observer'Thoughtful and true ... Cusk is a disciple of the truth and she helps us to see.' Independent'Cusk's most formidable, radical and compelling novel yet.' The Conversation

A path-breaking novel of art, womanhood and violence, from the author of the Outline trilogy. Midway through his life, an artist begins to paint upside down.

In Paris, a woman is attacked by a stranger in the street. A mother dies. A man falls to his death.

Couples seek escape in distant lands. The new novel from one of the most distinctive writers of the age, Parade sets loose a carousel of lives. It surges past the limits of identity, character, and plot, to tell a true story-about art, family, morality, gender, and how we compose ourselves.
