He has to sit there, looking like a schoolboy himself, shuffling his feet and saying he didn't know this was going on and he'll launch an investigation and put a quick end to it. She wants to know if the head's aware of this, of what the pupils in his school are getting up to. I've been seen smoking behind the bike shed (the oldest cliche in the book). Mom's ranting and raving about cigarettes. I groan, roll my eyes, and mutter under my breath, “Bring on the corpses!” Then I see Mom's face, white with rage, and I know she's here to punish, not comfort. Her shining flesh, having to kiss her forehead, the pain, the tears. Now stiff and cold, tongue sticking out, a slab of dead meat just waiting to be buried. My immediate reaction: Please don't let anybody be dead! I think of Dad, Gret, uncles, aunts, cousins. Either somebody close to you has been seriously injured or has died, or you're in trouble. When a parent turns up at school, unexpected, it means one of two things. But when there's a knock at the door, and it opens, and I spot my Mom outside, I realize - life can always get worse.

His windows are incredibly low set, providing easy entry for any entitl ed shit-faced intruder to hop in w ithout any difficult y w hatsoever. His room sits on the ground, he once again notes with distaste. F eeling a bit poetic (this is, after all, the opening scene to his tragedy) he sashays to the window, peering out at the ancient buildings entwined with ivy, settled in the vibrant green grass before him. With a plonk that seems at odds with the fine setting, Louis drops his armful of bags and bits, sighing dramatic ally as he surveys his surroundings. And “keeping it in check” is just something Louis does not do. His mother always said his fiery tongue would be his downfall, were he not able to keep it in check. (N o, he hasn’t met said flatm ate yet, and no, he doesn’t need to in order to form judgment.) Louis has never been equipped to handle these situations with much grace. Friends, if anything), he’s now contractually obligated to share HIS space with some pretentious twat who shits money and plays a pretty game of thinly veiled superiorit y. “Of any woman creator, an explanation is required of whether, or how, she dispensed with her femininity and its limitations, with her female biological destiny of where - so to speak - she buried the body.” As Cusk writes in the profile, which finally situated Paul, at 60, as more than Lucien Freud’s nubile muse, female artists have to work through or around or beside their gender. He smokes, drinks, scandalizes, indulges his lusts and in every way bites the hand that feeds him, all to be unmasked at the end as a peerless genius.”Īrtist and male artist are not distinct terms. He neglects or betrays his friends and family. “The male artist,” Cusk writes, “in our image of him, does everything we are told not to do: He is violent and selfish. The consummate swigging, stomping, scolding male virtuoso, Giacometti is performing a role he’ll never be asked to step out of. In a 2019 profile of the long-neglected artist Celia Paul, Rachel Cusk mentions a scene from a film about the painter Alberto Giacometti in which he jams dozens of his sketches into a firepit and watches them burn.

The Other America: Poverty in the United States by Michael Harringtonįirst published in 1962, this book took a broad, structural view of how poverty persisted in the US despite the boom years after the second world war which launched many into a growing middle class. Taken together, they illustrate an exceptionally grim truth about US society.ġ. This list is a blend of the two, the best of each sort of story. These take the focus off the individual and, at their best, explain the larger forces that can often shape our lives, whether we know it or not. The other type, equally important, takes a broad view and explains the history of American poverty as a series of policy and political choices. To write it, I returned home to my small, poor town in the Arkansas Ozarks after many years of living in big cities on the east coast to find my childhood best friend: through our reconnection, I explored the ways that the different places we lived marked our adult lives. My own book, The Forgotten Girls, follows in this tradition. Novels and narrative nonfiction books often take a personal, sometimes painfully vivid and honest portrayal of a family or individual in a way that can personalise the potentially abstract issue for readers. The books about poverty that resonate most for me come in two forms. |
