"The experience of motherhood is an experience in contradiction. It is commonplace and it is impossible to imagine. It is prosaic and it is mysterious. It is at once banal, bizarre, compelling, tedious, comic, and catastrophic. To become a mother is to become the chief actor in a drama of human existence to which no one turns up. It is the process by which an ordinary life is transformed unseen into a story of strange and powerful passions, of love and servitude, of confinement. and compassion." "In a book that is touching, hilarious, provocative, and profoundly insightful, novelist Rachel Cusk attempts to tell something of an old story set in a new era of sexual equality. Cusk's account of a year of modern motherhood becomes many stories: a farewell to freedom, sleep, and time; a lesson in humility and hard work; a journey to the roots of love; a meditation on madness and mortality; and most of all, a sentimental education in babies, books, toddler groups, bad advice, crying, breastfeeding, and never being alone."--BOOK JACKET.… (mais)

Voor jonge moeder of nog niet moeders (cadeauidee voor beiden. Een zeer juiste en literaire beschrijving van het eerste jaar moederschap/leven met een baby. ( )
  AnkeL | Nov 4, 2023 |
Rachel Cusk relata en estas páginas sus primeras experiencias como madre y reflexiona con desacostumbrada franqueza sobre lo que supone esta etapa: un adiós a la libertad, al sueño y al tiempo, un viaje a las raíces del amor y una esforzada lección de humildad. La autora analiza brillantemente cuestiones esenciales relativas al embarazo y la maternidad, desde las ambivalencias y los sentimientos contradictorios que desarrollan las madres hasta las trampas que encierra el discurso mayoritario en torno a ese periodo, pasando también por la infantilización social de las embarazadas y las madres primerizas o la soledad del puerperio.

Divertido, conmovedor y brutalmente sincero, Un trabajo para toda la vida es sin duda uno de los más brillantes libros sobre la maternidad que se han escrito en lo que va de siglo. Su publicación en 2001 suscitó tanta admiración como indignación, e incluso un famoso columnista llegó a solicitar que los servicios sociales se hicieran cargo de las hijas de la autora.

Más de veinte años después se traduce por primera vez al español esta obra pionera que sigue sorprendiendo por su extraordinaria lucidez.

Een levenswerk. Door: Rachel Cusk.

Dit boek verscheen al eerder in vertaling (in 2004) onder de naam: In het land van moeders. Het is alweer de derde druk maar ik las het nog niet, tot nu.

Ondertussen ben ik 43, bewust kindvrij én fan van Cusk. Dus las ik deze week een boek ‘over het moederschap’. En dacht heel vaak: zo blij dat ik geen kinderen heb ;) Niet omdat Cusk het moederschap als een voorportaal van de hel beschrijft (hoewel); wél omdat ze het zo eerlijk én met humor opschrijft. Ze schuwt de rauwe kantjes, momenten van wanhoop, de uitputtingsslag van het niet doorslapen, de epische momenten van vertwijfeling niet.

Rachel Cusk schrijft zoals ze altijd schrijft: met een genadeloze, trefzekere pen en verfijnde humor, veel humor. Met dit verschil: Een levenswerk is, in tegenstelling tot bijvoorbeeld Contouren, De tweede plaats, Kudos,…autofictie. Wat me veel moeilijker te schrijven lijkt, als je het goed wil doen, en dat doet ze. Dit boek is persoonlijk en publiek, zelfs politiek soms. Hoewel het heel Cusk is, intiem, zal het voor moeders universeel aanvoelen, denk ik.

Een levenswerk is geschreven tijden de zwangerschap (6 maanden na de geboorte van de eerste dochter) en de eerste levensmaanden van haar tweede dochter; een huzarenstuk want afgaande op wat ik in dit boek las gaan baby’s en boeken (lezen/schrijven) niet goed samen.

Cusk slaagt erin om een hart onder de riem te steken van (lezende) moeders; door haar eerlijkheid, scherpe blik en kritische kijk op opvoedboeken, bevallingsbrochures, wijkverpleegsters en andere ouders die doen alsof alles altijd happy happy joy joy is. De vlotte schrijfstijl, meeslepende verhalen en nodige humor maken dit een aanrader voor iedereen: fans van Cusk, fans van goed geschreven autoficie, bewuste ouders en bewust-niet-ouders. Of combinaties van. Cusk’s oeuvre is verslavend. Lees één boek van haar en je wil alles lezen, haar stem is uniek. ( )

I knew I had read this before but apparently I only entered the title; no review. I just reread it before giving it to a new mother - almost didn't give it because it seemed too negative and intellectual, with all the literary references. But by the end it was more in Cusk's style, at least that of her autobiographical works - lyrical, moving, beautiful. ( )
  bobbieharv | Feb 9, 2020 |
This memoir by Cusk was listed by the New York Times as one of the 50 best memoirs of the last 50 years. I am reading through the list. Cusk has a sharp eye and a brutal frankness about her own feelings which make this book a revelation, especially for men since we do not experience pregnancy except through what our female partners tell us about it. Some of what Cusk relates was familiar to me from my partner's two pregnancies but Cusk says so much that I am talking with my spouse about this book and Cusk's observations.
