One of the most daringly original and entertaining pieces of fiction I've ever read. -- Julie Myerson ― Observer Books of the Year

Outline is smoothly accomplished, and fascinating both on the surface and in its depths. -- Hilary Mantel ― Guardian Books of the Year

While little happens in Outline, everything seems to happen. You find yourself pulling the novel closer to your face, as if it were a thriller and the hero were dangling over a snake pit. ― New York Times

Cusk is so gifted at distilling the human condition into words that some of her observations have the profundity of those of the great philosophers. ― Independent on Sunday

Outline是一部小说,共十篇。这本书简洁明了,讲述了一位小说家在雅典炎热的夏天教授一门创造性写作课程的故事。她带领学生做讲故事练习。她与其他作家共进晚餐。她和她的邻座一起去爱奥尼亚海游泳。她遇到的人滔滔不绝地谈论他们自己、他们的幻想、焦虑、喜欢的理论、遗憾和渴望。通过这些揭露，叙述者的形象形成了对比，一个女人学着面对巨大的损失。   

Outline是一个短小而又史诗般的循环的第一本书,它是我们这个时代最重要的成就之一。  

Outline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her student in storytelling exercises. She meets other writers for dinner. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her seatmate from the place. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves, their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face great a great loss.

Outline is the first book in a short and yet epic cycle - a masterful trilogy which will be remembered as one of the most significant achievements of our times.

Rachel Cusk is the author of the Outline trilogy, the memoirs A Life's Work and Aftermath, and several other works of fiction and non-fiction. She is a Guggenheim fellow. She lives in Paris.
