Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize and longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award Marion Coutts is an artist, and as her remarkable first book reveals, she is also a supremely gifted writer. The Iceberg is an account of the eighteen months leading up to her husband’s death. A book that asks us how we witness and experience death, this is also a celebration of love, family, language, art, and life. In 2008 Marion Coutts’s partner, the art critic Tom Lubbock, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The tumor was located in the area controlling speech and language and would eventually rob him of the ability to speak. He died early 2011. In short bursts of beautiful, textured prose, Coutts describes a man, a woman, and a young child under assault, and how the three of them fight to keep their family unit intact. Written with extraordinary narrative force and power, The Iceberg is almost shocking in its raw honesty and the beauty of its sentences. It charts the deterioration of Tom’s speech even as it records the developing language of his child. Fury, selfishness, grief, indignity, and impotence are all examined and brought to light. Yet out of this comes a rare story about belonging, “an adventure of being and dying” that in the words of Diana Athill “astounds . . . it ought to be read by anyone who ever pauses to consider our mortality.” (Sunday Telegraph)
