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
