Outline by Rachel Cusk tries to grasp personhood and identity in the midst of absence and loss through the (titular) outline of the narrator. The narrator tries to understand herself by understanding others. She listens to the stories about marriage and divorce, family, ambitions or even writing itself. In this episode, we discuss the stylistic and philosophical aspects of the book, and whether or not we agree with it.
