About the Book: Parade
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.
