Ralph Loman is marooned in an unexceptional life, anchored in regret and introspection by a past from which he cannot free himself. He clings to the few things which promise permanence: the drudgery of his job. the ownership of his flat, and the tainted loyalty of his mischievous boyhood friend. Stephen Sparks. When one of corporate London's transient typists unexpectedly crosses Ralph's path, her disruptive beauty ignites a brief blaze of excitement in his troubled heart. But Francine Snaith is ravenous for attention, driven by a thirst for conquest, and when Ralph tries politely to extricate himself he finds he is bound in chains of consequence from which it seems there is no escape. * Rachel Cusk's prize-winning first novel Saving Agnes was acclaimed as a witty commentary on contemporary urban life by an inimitable stylist. In The Temporary Cusk has produced a novel more complex and dramatic in structure, bolder in probing the controversial and the taboo. With its brilliant delineation of the numbing machinery of office life, its acute analysis of sexual relations and human crises, The Temporary is a tragicomic tale for our times. £9.99
