She's a good sport. Would you just make it up? she said.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eM is a film star, and one of the most recognisable faces of our time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith such fame, her life has the appearance of freedom: people are instantly obliging, spaces are altered to accommodate her, time can be rearranged. For her, it seems, the rules of reality have melted away. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow M has agreed to let a stranger write her biography. Their project will sprawl and expand: to the olive groves and holiday beaches where M spends her days; across hotel rooms, bourgeois facades, film sets; through endless modern cities. It is hard not to feel ugly next to M, hard not to feel insignificant. But what truths - about the very experience of living - might this proximity allow the writer to briefly capture? And what in the end will M make of their work? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLife of M\u003c\/i\u003e, Rachel Cusk has again fashioned a new kind of literature.
