The vote is in and our October book is:
Parade by Rachel Cusk (2024; 208 pages)
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.
Note: We will be back to the outside space at the Coogee Beach Club.
On the night: Bring yourself and your thoughts, all opinions are welcome. We usually go around the group and share a little of how our month has been, each give the book our score out of 10, and then discuss! Bring along any other book recommendations to share with the group.
