\n\tThe acclaimed writer Rachel Cusk\u2019s controversial new novel Life of M<\/em> is an intimate, unvarnished character study of an A-list movie star who is depicted as hollow, immature and cynical, an intellectual poseur and an artist wannabe. The apparent inspiration: Natalie Portman, who selected Cusk\u2019s works for her online book club and hosted her for a 2022 discussion, calling the author \u201cone of my favorite writers.\u201d Among the evidence is the fictional subject\u2019s filmography, whose details directly map to the actress\u2019 signature roles in Leon: The Professional<\/em>, Black Swan<\/em> and Vox Lux<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the novel, publishing Aug. 25, an unnamed writer in an unnamed city that appears to be Paris undertakes an experimental autobiographical project \u2014 essayistic, possibly fabulist \u2014 about a friend, the titular M. In part, it\u2019s an extended riff on the celebrity profile, with scenes set at discreet restaurants and in luxury hotels.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTo always be playing a part is to have no home, she thinks, nor any history,\u201d Cusk writes of M. The star\u2019s literal home is compared to \u201ca big doll\u2019s house, with her as the doll inside it.\u201d Cusk writes of M that \u201cshe is skilled at giving the appearance of paying attention,\u201d and \u201cher cultivation of normality is an attempt to retrieve a lost inner world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarly buzz about the book has been portentous, turning its release into one of the high-low cultural events of the year. The zeitgeist-attuned pop culture critic Hunter Harris wrote a column headlined: \u201cDoes Natalie Portman Have a Bad Art Friend?\u201d The book reviewer Valerie Stivers, in an assessment that judged Life of M<\/em> a \u201cdark portrait,\u201d opined that \u201cNatalie Portman has long seemed more like a person who wants to brand herself as smart than like a person who is actually smart \u2014 and her decision to let her friend Rachel Cusk write a book about her seems to confirm this.\u201d (Despite this repeated presumption of friendship, there\u2019s no evidence that the actress and the author are more than acquaintances.) The former New York Times<\/em> staff book critic Molly Young noted she\u2019d \u201cheard through the publishing grapevine that there was an \u2018insane\u2019 legal situation\u201d surrounding the book. \u201cWas unable to obtain specifics about the nature of the insanity but believe me, I tried.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s rare for an avant-garde novel to become tabloid fodder. \u201cNatalie is a very private person, that\u2019s why she moved to Paris, so Rachel\u2019s book, Life of M<\/em>, has really pissed her off,\u201d an anonymous \u201cinsider\u201d told the Daily Mail<\/em>, adding, \u201cShe thinks it is a real low blow and is horrified about the rumors she was in on the book in some way, which she certainly was not. The celebrity is nothing like her, she is far from a diva, she is a quiet bookworm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNeither Portman nor Cusk and her publisher, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, would comment for this story. An industry executive who has long known the actress tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that the book is \u201cundeniably a description of the public actress known as Natalie Portman. But the personality and character of M bears zero resemblance to the person of Natalie Portman. If you asked anybody who knows her they\u2019d say the same.\u201d This person continues, \u201cThey\u2019ve never been friends. Natalie\u2019s a fan. They are both in those highbrow circles in Paris. They\u2019ve met each other a handful of times in total. The publisher would want people to believe they are close and that Rachel observed her for years. But it\u2019s fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe meta story of Life of M<\/em>\u2019s creation \u2014 how Cusk ignored decorum in favor of artistic absolutism \u2014 is perhaps the most intriguing element of this saga. Especially since Cusk has a well-known record of literary incitement. \u201cHow could someone of Natalie Portman\u2019s sophistication not be more on her guard around Rachel Cusk?\u201d asks Leigh Gilmore, an English professor at Ohio State University who\u2019s a scholar of life writing and feminist theory. \u201cHow does that happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\n\tPortman, 45, is the Hollywood movie star of her generation with perhaps the most cosmopolitan public persona. She\u2019s a Harvard graduate, a face of Dior, a longtime Parisian due to her former marriage to the accomplished French ballet director Benjamin Millepied, with whom she has two children. Then there\u2019s her studious hosting of Natalie\u2019s Book Club (190,000 members on Instagram), whose picks lean higher brow, from the classic like Carson McCullers to the contemporary: Helen DeWitt, Benjamin Labatut, Rachel Kushner. She\u2019s one of several actresses \u2014 among them Emma Roberts and Kaia Gerber \u2014 whose outward bookishness have turned them into tastemakers among publishers.<\/p>\n

\n\tPortman\u2019s pas de deux with Cusk is a sequel of sorts to a much-documented episode a decade ago. The literary world concluded that the celebrated novelist Jonathan Safran Foer, then married to another noted writer, had fallen in love with his longtime friend Portman, who didn\u2019t return his affection. (They\u2019d first met after she\u2019d attended one of his readings.) The situation became material for a 2023 off-Broadway play, The Wanderers<\/em>, in which Katie Holmes portrayed the Portman-esque character.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Life of M<\/em>, Cusk\u2019s stand-in feels reduced in her proximity to the movie star. But in real life, the 59-year-old Cusk \u2014 an international literary celebrity, brimming with gravitas \u2014 has her own formidable pull. While M grants permission for the narrator to proceed in the book (\u201cShe liked the idea. She\u2019s a good sport.\u201d), it\u2019s unclear if Portman did the same. If so, Portman may have been seduced and betrayed by the thrall of literary prestige in a grand tradition that famously felled Truman Capote\u2019s society swans, including Babe Paley, when he published Answered Prayers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tCusk, a Canadian-Brit educated at Oxford, has long been laurelled and condemned for her ruthless chronicles of selfhood. She\u2019s known for a focus on the pressures and sacrifices of artistic women.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCusk uses aspects of her own life \u2014 and perhaps by extension, the lives of others \u2014 as templates for exploring questions of importance relating, broadly speaking, to female experience over the life course,\u201d explains Fiona J. Doloughan, an English professor at The Open University in the United Kingdom who has authored a book that examines how Cusk has reinvented the novel.<\/p>\n

\n\tCusk\u2019s work has previously led to trouble. Her 2009 memoir The Last Supper<\/em>, about a summer spent in Italy, resulted in a libel suit. \u201cThey withdrew the book in England,\u201d she told Elle<\/em>. \u201cThe American edition got lawyered to death,\u201d adding that those she offended \u201csee themselves where they are not, and they don\u2019t view themselves where they are.\u201d To The Guardian<\/em>, she explained, \u201cif you describe people and they recognize themselves they can sue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStill, three years later she published another memoir, Aftermath<\/em>, about the collapse of her marriage, which provoked a backlash over the belief that it violated the privacy of her husband and children. The \u201ccreative death\u201d she says she experienced from its vitriolic reception led her to follow it with a landmark, widely praised cycle of novels known as the Outline Trilogy. It\u2019s written in the postmodern genre called autofiction, in which autobiography is fictionalized to prioritize psychological and philosophical truths over literal facts. The choice also, not incidentally, is a bulwark against litigation.<\/p>\n

\n\tHywel Dix, an English professor and autofiction scholar at the U.K.\u2019s Bournemouth University, traces the rise of the literary genre over the past few decades in part as a response to reality television and true crime documentaries. \u201cEveryone is now more skeptical of what is scripted,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen that happens, we begin to question the truth content of these purported \u2018truth\u2019 narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe literature professor Arnaud Schmitt at University of Pau in France sees Life of M<\/em> as both \u201ca direct continuation of [Cusk\u2019s] examination of reality, as well as a drastic change,\u201d because it\u2019s biofiction. \u201cThis is an imagining of someone else\u2019s life,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s what Joyce Carol Oates did with Blonde<\/em>,\u201d her lauded burrowing into the soul of Marilyn Monroe.<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\nLife of M<\/em> culminates with a confrontation between M and the writer, who recalls, \u201cI showed M some of what only I was referring to as our project\u201d \u2014 the narrative so far. \u201cShe didn\u2019t seem to like it all that much. She said we needed to talk.\u201d Then Cusk sketches a showdown:<\/p>\n

\nI don\u2019t like the way you portray me, she said. Actually, it\u2019s hurtful.
But it isn\u2019t you, I said. It isn\u2019t anyone.
She looked at me coldly.
You\u2019ve made it seem like I lack humanity, she said. You\u2019ve made it seem like I\u2019m unable to love.
But you\u2019re just playing a character, I said. The character was invented by me. So if that\u2019s true, then it\u2019s me it\u2019s true of.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tThe narrator adds, \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about your private life \u2026 I don\u2019t know anything about your character.\u201d This doesn\u2019t allay M: \u201cObviously you can do what you want, she said. But I don\u2019t want you using my name.\u201d Cusk and Portman didn\u2019t respond to THR<\/em>\u2019s inquiries about whether the author had sought the actress\u2019 approval before embarking on Life of M<\/em> or showed her the manuscript before publication.<\/p>\n

\n\tGilmore, the life writing scholar, observes, \u201cthe novel wants to assert the innocence of the artist. The artist wants to not be held responsible for any harm that could come to any real person from this endeavor. [Cusk] indemnifies herself as an artist on the grounds of art.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMark Stephens, a top British solicitor who specializes in international defamation and privacy law, calls this disclaiming passage \u201ca brilliant device,\u201d adding, \u201cit would be difficult to bring home a successful case [against the book], and Natalie Portman would bring the author the benefit of the Streisand Effect,\u201d referring to the backfiring phenomenon in which an attempt to remove information from the public domain instead amplifies it.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe consensus among libel experts is that Portman wouldn\u2019t win in American court. \u201cIn the U.S., this is almost impossible to prevail,\u201d says Samantha Barbas, a law historian at the University of Iowa with a focus on free speech. Yet the actress may have a much stronger shot in France, where both she and Cusk reside. This might explain why, despite Life of M<\/em> already forthcoming in the U.K. and Germany, a French edition has yet to be announced. (Cusk has long published in France and is a major cultural figure in the country, having received the government\u2019s prestigious Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere are much stronger privacy protections in France, and a lot of cases where famous people receive injunctions where they haven\u2019t [in the U.S.],\u201d explains Jacqueline Lipton, a literary agent and law professor at Duquesne University. Adds Marc Randazza, a prominent U.S. free speech attorney, with a laugh: \u201cYou breathe the wrong way and you can be guilty of defamation in France.\u201d This may be overstated, but Scarlett Johansson, then residing in the country, won a 2014 decision in French court against a French author who, in a novel, depicted a Johansson doppelganger as carrying out multiple affairs.<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\n\tCusk scholars \u2014 yes, it\u2019s a whole field of study \u2014 defend her and Life of M<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s a speculation on 21st century fame, and how it feels on a subjective level,\u201d says Roberta Garrett, a senior lecturer at the University of East London who has published a book on her work. \u201cCusk is simply not a sentimental writer.\u201d Melissa Schuh, a lecturer at Germany\u2019s Kiel University who has also written on the author, similarly argues that Life of M<\/em> \u201creflects how character is performed.\u201d The book, she says, asks whether it is \u201ceven possible to write about another person and portray them accurately at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStill, Cusk appears alert to the ethics of Life of M<\/em> within the text itself. She describes a screenwriter friend of the actress who has written a film script about a figure \u201cwho bears more than a little resemblance to M herself,\u201d with \u201cthe horrifying difference\u201d that the character is \u201ca sort of emotionless automaton,\u201d the purpose of which is to \u201cinterrogate the notion of celebrity \u2014 and thus of self.\u201d This friend hopes M might star in the project. Instead, she\u2019s repelled. \u201cHe thinks he is dignifying her fundamental powerlessness,\u201d Cusk writes of the screenwriter. \u201cBut in fact it is to this empty and passionless alter ego that she will never surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n
