![]() Instead of passivity, we get velocity M flings herself desperately into her own drama. The protagonist of Second Place, however, whom Cusk calls only M, isn’t a sponge. ![]() (“I don’t think character exists anymore,” she told The New Yorker in 2018.) Faye rarely looks inward those books exude a kind of chilly spiritual equipoise. Instead, it nearly washes her away, saturating the reader’s brain beyond the possibility of absorbing more.Ĭusk has often seemed ambivalent about creating identities for her characters. ![]() This flood of detail and observation never reveals Faye’s personality. On and on, people monologue at Faye - on planes, in workshops, at restaurants. Although the books all share the same narrator, a woman named Faye, they are mostly constructed from minor characters’ stories. Her Outline novels, a trilogy published between 20, are beautiful but relentless. Fight it, and it drags you down like undertow.Ĭusk has written tidally before. Though there is an identifiable plot in Second Place (something not always true of Cusk’s work), the book is an atmospheric, a mood piece, a drug. Boundaries melt and reform and melt again, each time with danger slightly closer - and we come to realize the narrator’s mental place of safety is dissolving too. People have been lost to the tide those who live on this coast are lulled by its subtle rhythms. ![]() She loves to watch the water moving in over the flat land, advancing stealthily in a silver sheet. The narrator of Rachel Cusk’s new novel, Second Place, lives at the edge of a marsh, a place of apparent peace. ![]()

Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series and The Everything Box Lauren Beukes is a remarkable talent, that rare writer who can go in any. “Hilarious … belongs up there with Dresden Files and Felix Castor novels. From the first lines.you know you’re in for a Chandler-meets-the-undead treat.” - Locus ![]() “What’s best displayed by Kill the Dead is Kadrey’s snappy prose. “James Stark, antihero of 2009’s Sandman Slim, returns in this gritty, over-the-top tale of supernatural mayhem…Profane, intensely metaphoric language somehow makes self-tortured monster Stark sympathetic and turns a simple story into a powerful noir thriller.” - Publishers Weekly on KILL THE DEAD ![]() … Kadrey is a hell of a writer, versatile and seasoned, and these pulpy, dark, ultraviolent novels are his best work yet.” - Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing … There’s hardly a moment where you’re not chewing your fingernails to the wrist wondering what happens next. “Everything a sequel should be that is, more. “Think Get Shorty meets Hellraiser.” - San Francisco Chronicle “…endlessly inventive and high-octane…Kadrey’s an excellent writer who’s able to juggle all of it without dropping a single pin.” - Locus ![]() “Powerful, entertaining and exotically profane.” - San Diego Free Press ![]() ![]() ![]() Jasper yelled for his parents when a carrot shadow lurked up on his bathroom walls. Then while he was brushing his teeth, he saw the creepy carrots. When he turned around, it was just a washcloth, shampoo bottle, and a rubber duck.

Jasper enjoyed these carrots "on the way to school, on his way to Little League practice and on his way home at night", until he started to imagine that they were following him.

This bantering went on for at least 15 minutes. I’m not going to let anything happen to you,” he assured her. ![]() “But I’m scared,” she said, whining and flapping. “Come on, honey, you can do it,” he coached. As she stood by the pool nervously flapping her arms, her daddy was poised in waist-deep water with his arms outstretched. She appeared to be about 6 years old, wearing bright yellow water wings around her arms like blood pressure cuffs. One particular little girl caught my attention. I was sitting on the balcony, listening to excited squeals and splashes as children played in the swimming pool below. “However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’ - the things God has prepared for those who love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV) ![]() ![]() ![]() Based on a flawed premise and misrepresentation of variables, this system indirectly punished the poor for accessing public services. The final case study is the predictive risk model for child abuse from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Profiling turns into policing, eroding the illusion of impartial aid. The second case study is the coordinated entry housing system in Los Angeles, where an algorithm scores neediness, hiding results from recipients but not from the police officers who hunt them. Eubanks connects its failures with overarching societal mechanisms that use discriminatory profiling on the impoverished. ![]() The first case study is the automated welfare eligibility system in Indiana. Eubanks argues that the digital entrapments of the modern welfare state are just a digital version of these rickety structures, making profit from poverty in a similar manner. Critically lauded on publication, Automating Equality won the 2019 Lillian Smith Book Award, the 2018 McGannon Center Book Prize, and was shortlisted for the Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice.Įubanks uses the history of the poorhouse-a way to punish and contain the impoverished in the 19th and early 20th centuries-as a metaphor for modern automated data and technological systems. ![]() |
