Outline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and
lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an
oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her students in storytelling
exercises. She meets other visiting writers for dinner. She goes swimming in
the Ionian Sea with her neighbor from the plane. The people she encounters
speak volubly about themselves: their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories,
regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the
narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face a great
loss.
