Second Place by Rachel Cusk is a fable of human destiny and decline, enacted in a closed system of intimate, fractured relationships. The story revolves around a woman who invites a famed artist to visit the remote coastal region where she lives. She believes that his vision will penetrate the mystery of her life and landscape.
As the artist’s provocative presence frames the narrative, the novel delves into themes of female fate, male privilege, human relationships, and the struggle to live morally within our internal and external worlds.
