Summary

In this conclusion of her unprecedented literary project, Rachel Cusk explores the internal structures of human nature, questioning concepts such as family, love and art—but at the center is suffering, and its meaning in our lives. 
 

En un avión, una mujer escucha a su vecino de vuelo contarle la historia de su vida: su trabajo, su matrimonio y la horrible noche que acaba de pasar enterrando al perro de la familia. Esta mujer es Faye, una escritora que viaja a Europa para promocionar el libro que acaba de publicar. Ya en su destino, sus conversaciones con la gente que se encuentra le revelan al lector las más profundas inquietudes humanas sobre la familia, el amor, la política, el arte, o la justicia y la injusticia. La tensión entre lo que sus interlocutores son y lo que dicen ser se acrecienta a medida que la narración avanza.

Tras A contraluz y Tránsito, Prestigio cierra de manera brillante un ciclo narrativo que ha sido celebrado como una de las obras más originales y apasionantes de nuestro tiempo. Una brillante indagación de los límites de las convenciones narrativas con la que Rachel Cusk ha reinventado la forma de escribir una novela hoy en día.
