A path-breaking novel of art, womanhood and violence, from the author of the Outline trilogy.

Midway through his life, an artist begins to paint upside down.

In Paris, a woman is attacked by a stranger in the street.

A mother dies. A man falls to his death. Couples seek escape in distant lands.

The new novel from one of the most distinctive writers of the age, Parade sets loose a carousel of lives. It surges past the limits of identity, character, and plot, to tell a true story-about art, family, morality, gender, and how we compose ourselves.

Praise for the Outline trilogy:’A landmark in twenty-first-century English literature.’Observer’Precise and haunting … Unforgettable.’Jenny Offill’Achieves a kind of formal perfection … masterly.’Sally Rooney’A work of great stunning beauty, deep insight, and great originality.’Monica Ali
