A haunting fable of art, family, and fate from the author of the Outline trilogy. A woman invites a famous artist to use her guesthouse in the remote coastal landscape where she lives with her family. Powerfully drawn to his paintings, she believes his vision might penetrate the mystery at the center of her life. But as a long, dry summer sets in, his provocative presence itself becomes an enigma—and disrupts the calm of her secluded household. Second Place, Rachel Cusk’s electrifying new novel, is a study of female fate and male privilege, the geometries of human relationships, and the moral questions that animate our lives. It reminds us of art’s capacity to uplift—and to destroy.

"These novels are among the most important written in this century so far." --The Globe and Mail Rachel Cusk's ambitious Outline trilogy has received acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. Outline (2015) was a finalist for both the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction. Transit (2017), has been called "dreamlike" (Toronto Star), "extraordinary" (The Daily Telegraph) and "a work of stunning beauty, deep insight and great originality" (The New York Times Book Review). And Kudos (2018) has been called "intellectually entrancing" (The Globe and Mail), "radical and beautiful" (The New Yorker) and "bracingly compelling" (Vogue). Brought together in one exquisite collection, this groundbreaking trilogy follows Faye, a novelist facing divorce and family collapse, as she teaches creative writing in Athens, rebuilds a family in London and travels to European cities for literary events--along the way meeting people who help to reveal the merit in suffering, the fear that accompanies mysterious, inescapable change, and the hope of new possibilities that open from it. Cusk's original and powerful writing captures brilliant and startling insights into facing a great loss and the trauma of change.

The rich inner world of a human being is far more complex than either/or. You can love and hate, want to go and want to stay, feel both joy and sadness. Psychologist William Miller--one of the world's leading experts on the science of change--offers a fresh perspective on ambivalence and its transformative potential in this revealing book. Rather than trying to overcome indecision by force of will, Dr. Miller explores what happens when people allow opposing arguments from their “inner committee members” to converse freely with each other. Learning to tolerate and even welcome feelings of ambivalence can help you get unstuck from unwanted habits, clarify your desires and values, explore the pros and cons of tough decisions, and open doorways to change. Vivid examples from everyday life, literature, and history illustrate why we are so often "of two minds," and how to work through it.
