For her, it seems, the rules of reality have melted away. Now M has agreed to let a stranger write her biography.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir project will sprawl and expand: to the olive groves and holiday beaches where M spends her days; across hotel rooms, bourgeois facades, film sets; through endless modern cities. It is hard not to feel ugly next to M, hard not to feel insignificant. But what truths - about the very experience of living - might this proximity allow the writer to briefly capture? And what in the end will M make of their work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLife of M\u003c\/em\u003e, Rachel Cusk has again fashioned a new kind of literature. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA novel stripped of artifice, it takes our emptiness and fills it with grace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2026\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr\u003ePages: 185\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0571399800\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780571399802\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rachel Cusk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627893186826,"sku":null,"price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780571399802.jpg?v=1788530911","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/life-of-m-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
