Rachel Cusk recommends

Non-Fiction (2022)
Julie Myerson
"[A] glitteringly painful novel, so steady and clear in its analysis of addiction, creativity, and the factors that determine female and familial identity."

Shelter in Place (2020)
David Leavitt
"Very funny and unexpected, a material response to our times, plush as velvet."
