Essay Collection Review

Coventry by Rachel Cusk
Publication Date - August 20, 2019
3 stars

I normally really enjoy essay collections, especially when there is a good mixture of literary criticism,  current events, personal life and some humor.  That is my personal preference and there are authors who I feel hit the mark really well.  This collection hit some of those marks.  The literary criticism section is especially strong with a good mix of current and classic and some great points made.  However, I felt that the author also takes herself too seriously and some of the essays felt pretentious. Overall, this was a mixed read for me.  I received a digital copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
