Forfatteren Faye er inviteret til en litteraturfestival i et sted i Europa for at promovere sin nye bog. Allerede på flyet falder hun i snak med sin sidemand, der begynder at fortælle hende om sit liv. Han fortæller om sit job, sit ægteskab og om den forfærdelige nat, han lige har tilbragt med at begrave familiens døde hund. På festivalen fortsætter Faye samtalerne med de mennesker, hun møder. De taler om de store spørgsmål i livet, om kunst, familie, politik, kærlighed, sorg og glæde, retfærdighed og uretfærdighed, udholdenhed og succes, i både kunsten og livet, og om de erfaringer, man gør sig gennem livets overgange. Med Kudos afsluttes Rachel Cusks kritikerroste og prisvindende trilogi, der er blevet kaldt for en fornyelse af romankunsten, på overbevisende og kraftfuld vis. Denne bog er oversat af Annelise Schønnemann.
