Second Place by Rachel Cusk

5.0

Rachel fucking Cusk.....honestly. A beautiful, ravaging piece. Art as truth and what is truth even mean? How does it play into creation? This deals with the narratives we write for ourselves. A lot about womanhood, motherhood, male privilege and female will. Freedom, what is freedom and freedom from identity, expectations and our own narratives? Plus a lot of gorgeous prose, nature descriptions and ART ART ART. 5 stars.
