Award Winners
In the UK, Rachel Cusk has won the £10,000 (A$19,605) Goldsmiths Prize for Parade (Faber), a novel that ‘offers an enigmatic and thought-provoking meditation on art, gender and the complexities of selfhood’, according to the prize organisers.
Chosen for the prize from a shortlist of six, Parade is the fourth of Cusk’s novels to be nominated for the Goldsmiths Prize; the author was previously shortlisted for Outline, Transit and Kudos, the three novels in her Outline trilogy.
QRC reviewed her novel Second Place and featured her in our series Women Authors of the Twenty-First Century in the August 2024 Newsletter.
