We first learn the name of Outline‘s narrator, Faye, about 84% into the novel (at least according to my Kindle). It’s a blink it or miss it moment. In fact, I didn’t register her name until I saw it cropping up in reviews of the book.

Cusk’s Goldsmith Prize nominated novel isn’t so much a story as it is a fragment of time in the life of the narrator. Faye has traveled to Greece to instruct a two-day writing class. When she arrives in Athens she teaches her students, has dinner with friends and spends time on a boat with a man – referred throughout the book as “my neighbor” – who she met on the plane during the flight over. For Faye, there’s no character arc, no dramatic tension, no epiphanies or revelations. She fades out of the story just liked she faded in, with barely a ripple.

And yet Faye is anything but a passive character. While she might reveal very little of herself, she is able to exert influence on those around her. Within minutes of meeting Faye, “my neighbor” on the plane is providing intimate details about his failed marriages. The people she visits and dines with in Greece – both stranger and friend – are quick to unburden themselves of their life story. The students in her class, asked by Faye to write a story about an animal, provide stories that are personal and confronting.

The most striking of these is Penelope’s story about Mimi the dog. Penelope initially buys the puppy for her children. But as often happens, the responsibility for the dog quickly changes hands from the children back to Penelope. Unfortunately Mimi is a naughty dog, making messes all over the house and shredding the furniture. Because she now feels obligated to care for the dog, Penelope grows to hate Mimi (Trigger warning in regard to animal abuse):.
